Synopsis

Product Description
Catch, famous for the 1990s pop song "Bingo", were an indie-pop group consisting of Toby Slater (vocalist and keyboardist), Wayne Murray (bassist and vocals) and Ben Etchells (guitarist). The band were signed to Virgin Records and released two singles - "Bingo", which reached #23 in the UK Singles Chart, and "Dive In", which got to #44.

In the early hours of 31 August 1997, the video for "Bingo" was being featured on the ITV Chart Show on ITV, before it faded out to be replaced by a news report, giving the then sketchy details of the road accident that killed Princess Diana. "Bingo" was Catch's biggest hit, and resulted in the band appearing on Light Lunch, The Paul Ross Show (performing three songs live), and many Saturday morning TV shows. Slater also presented some shows on MTV around this time. An album was quickly released in Indonesia due to the band's popularity there, but was never released in the UK due to Slater being unhappy with it at the time. The band visited Jakarta for a promotional tour and performed acoustically for fans.
