According to McCann, he was born in Australia but his family is from Ireland and Widnes, Cheshire. The other founding members are all English - Bibby is from Lancashire, Hall is from Sheffield and Blakeway is from Chester. In terms of Llandudno, McCann stated "we just moved there when we were kids at the age of about 2 or 3 with our mums and dads. Billy’s mum and dad and my mum and dad both ran B and B’s. That led to us meeting each other in school. And we’re all best mates with Billy’s younger brother who is our tour manager. So it’s all like a big family really." The band derives its name from McCann's first childhood musical memory: that of an Australian street busker in Sydney, playing beer bottles strung to a wire who goes by the name Catfish the Bottleman. He was called "Catfish" because of an unusually styled spiky beard he had when he first began playing in 2000.
