    Cairo Announce New Singer, New Single and Special Gig Date

    Sarah Bayley has left Cairo due to other commitments. She leaves wishing the band all the best. On behalf of the band, Rob Cottingham, band founder, advised: “We would like to thank Sarah for the last four years. We had fun along the way, and wish her the very best of luck for the future.

    “In happier news, we were blown away by this lady's voice recently and we are delighted to announce that Kat (pictured) has joined the band on vocals.

    “She is ready to gig our existing material and is already working on new songs with us. Kat has an amazing voice and tone, and we would ask you all to warmly welcome her into the band, and into our prog family.”

    Kat advises: “I was intrigued by Cairo’s music and instantly fell in love with the song ‘Glow’. Joining the band is different; exciting and an amazing adventure that I am thrilled to be a part of.”

    In further news, Rob announces: “We are also pleased to release our brand new single 'Salvation' featuring Kat on vocals, and which will feature on our next album - details of which will be published in due course. We hope you enjoy our new song and video.”

    This is the band whose debut came out in 1994, on the Magna Carta label? I wondered what happened to them, glad they're still around and kicking!

    I used to think that, but I think this is a different prog band that decided to go with "Cairo". I always felt that kinda strange, since they are the same genre, and the previous Cairo had multiple albums out - and were not exactly obscure in the Prog world.

    There was even more confusion with the band Advent. When I was shopping for Cantus Firmus on iTunes, I found a Hip-Hop band using the same name. A Hip-Hop fan wrote a review for Cantus Firmus, saying it was the worst album he ever heard.

    This is the English band Cairo (according to Discogs there are 18 other bands and artists that use this name...). It would have been better if they would have called them Cairo Rocks, like their website: https://cairorocks.com/
