The Catch (British duo)

History

Before forming the Catch, Don Snow had been a member of the Sinceros and later Squeeze, playing on the 1982 album Sweets from a Stranger. He then teamed up with Chris Whitten to create the duo, and their debut single "25 Years" was released in 1983.

The group found its greatest success in Germany, where "25 Years" reached No. 3 on its first release. The track was later remixed and re-released in Germany in 1991 and 1996 on the labels Hansa and Ultraphonic, respectively. Two compilation albums were also issued on Hansa and Repertoire Records.

Chris Whitten worked as a session drummer for numerous artists, including Paul McCartney, Dire Straits, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, the Pretenders, Swing Out Sister, Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, Julian Cope, ABC, the The, the Waterboys, and Fredericks Goldman Jones.
