British composer and musician Cathal Smyth, best known as Chas Smash the co-frontman and multi-instrumentalist in Madness, will begin his solo career in 2014 with the release of his beautiful, moving debut album 'A Comfortable Man'. These heartfelt songs deal with relationship issues, falling in love and the pain of separation being the main themes.

Cathal revealed some of this solo material for first time at Festival Number 6 in Portmeirion in September 2013, accompanied by strings and harp arranged by Joe Duddell.
