The Kopy Katz are a wild, high-octane live 3-piece band that play originals and cover songs by The Stray Cats plus classic 1950’s rockers (Eddie Cochran, Elvis etc) and they even apply their own unique rockabilly sound to songs by T.Rex, The Rolling Stones, Billy Idol & others for something a little different. They never fail to get any crowd rockin’.

 

The band is based in Welwyn Garden City, Herts and Essex coast and features David Lyall (lead vocals & guitar), Len Davy (drums & backing vocals) & Carl James-Cordean (double bass & backing vocals).

 

The band have been busy recently, supporting The Stray Cats legend, Slim Jim Phantom on two of his UK tours and have also supported The Polecats, Restless as well as Darrel Higham & The Enforcers.

​

The Kopy Katz are firm festival favourites, having performed at some of the UK’s best-loved events, including Rock n Ribs Festival, The Welsh Rockabilly Fair, Americana International, Festival in the Park, The Old Riverport Jazz & Blues Festival, Summer Solstice Sundown Music Festival, the NSRA Hot Rod Supernationals 2025 and the Rods & Rockers Weekender in Yorkshire — plus many more.

​

Alongside their high-energy rockabilly favourites, The Kopy Katz bring their own sound to the stage with their original tracks. Packed with attitude, infectious hooks and a healthy dose of rock ’n’ roll swagger, these songs showcase the band’s personality and song writing talent while fitting seamlessly into their live set — giving audiences something they won’t hear from any other band.
