Robert Adrian 'Bob' Catley
(Born 11 September 1947/Aldershot, England)
Despite a busy touring and recording schedule with Magnum at this time, Bob Catley has found time to embark on a solo career. He was first approached by Gary Hughes (frontman of Rock band Ten) in 1998 to write a solo album. Bob teamed up with Gary who wrote all the songs on The Tower (as well as producing and playing bass and keyboards). The Tower was written with classic Magnum very much in mind and harks back to On A Storyteller's Night style pomp meeting Wings Of Heaven style AOR with a very 90s melodic rock production.
The Tower was released in 1998 and was critically acclaimed. Bob made his debut solo appearance at The Gods '98, performing a show stopping set featuring tracks from The Tower as well as classic Magnum songs.
Such was the response to the show that Now Then decided to release an official bootleg of the set. Live At The Gods which was released in January 1999 and features the full set list performed on the day. Bob's backing band for the concert was made up of Canadian label mates Emerald Rain with Vinny Burns (Ten) on lead guitar and Paul Hodson (Hard Rain) on keyboards. Bob and Emerald Rain also undertook a successful UK tour.

During the summer of 1999 recording commenced on Bob's second solo album Legends.
Gary Hughes once again wrote and produced the album (as well as playing keyboards) with Ten's Vinny Burns and Steve McKenna and Dante Fox's John Cooksey providing the musical backing. The songs are based on various Legends, factual, fictional, historical and mythological.
Legends was launched at The Gods 99 where Bob headlined the Saturday night with Emerald Rain and Paul Hodson once again providing backing. Bob toured the UK extensively during 2000 with Paul Hodson and Native Cain providing his backing band. In the run up to Christmas 2000 Bob toured the UK again, and for one Spanish date, with special guest Kip Winger. 2001 saw the release of Bob's third album Middle Earth, which was based on J. R. R. Tolkien's epic The Lord of the Rings. The songs, once again penned by Gary Hughes, are based on various parts/incidents/characters from the book.
Musicians on Middle Earth include Gary's band mates Ten plus a guest appearance by Landmarq vocalist Tracy Hitchings.
Bob toured extensively in 2001 with Kip Winger opening acoustically early in the year, and then spent a month co-headlining UK and European dates with Ten later in the year.
2003 saw a change in writing partners for Catley-When Empires Burn was written and produced by Bob’s long time keyboard player Paul Hodson and features a much heavier sound, bordering on heavy metal. The backing band included Vince O’Regan (Guitars), Al Barrow (Bass) and Jamie Little (Drums).
When Empires Burn was again backed by a full European tour, this time touring with the Yorkshire based band Lost Weekend. Bob’s 2006 solo album Spirit Of Man was written by Dave Thompson and Paul Uttley of Lost Weekend and Vince O’Regan of Pulse, and was recorded at KRT Studio’s in Wolverhampton.

Bob and Vince have co-produced the album. This is the first time that Catley has had a role in the production of one of his albums, and continues the somewhat heavier approach seen in the previous album. The album was supported by a full UK and European tour, including an intimate date at London's famous Underworld club.
Bob was also one of the many singers involved with the Power Metal project Avantasia, created by Edguy's frontman Tobias Sammet. Bob was featured in almost all Avantasia albums, from The Metal Operas to the more recent Wicked Trilogy. He appeared on The Scarecrow Tour in 2008 and also on The Metal Opera Comes To Town Tour in December 2010.
