Where there’s a concert, there’s probably a YCAT artist!

It is not only Santa Claus who is coming to town this Christmas. There’s a heady line-up of past and present YCAT artists gracing London and UK concert halls.

YCAT CEO Alasdair Tait told Lark Music: “You don’t have to search far to see YCAT’s impact over the past 39 years with so many YCAT alumni performing across the country.”

“Coming into the festive season it is amazing to see so many recognisable names who are either present or former YCAT artists.”

“The fact that past artists continue to play a vital role at the forefront of music making in the UK and abroad fills me with great pride. It demonstrates that the time they spend as YCAT artists really does have a lasting impact on the longevity of their careers.”
