BARRY'S BACKGROUND

"After making a stage debut at the age of 18, performing and being involved in music has always been Barrys' passion.

From the late 70s, Barry has played in all sorts of bands, mainly based in the West Midlands, ranging from folk and country through to heavy rock and blues and currently comedy band 'Fat Chance'.
 
Barry has played live in venues of all sizes including The Cavern (Liverpool); Huntington Hall (Worcester); Ronnie Scott's (Birmingham); Tamworth Castle; Derby Assembly Rooms; Lichfield Guild and Civic halls; Tamworth Assembly Rooms; Solihull Library Theatre; and many festivals including Sidmouth; Alcester; Lichfield; Clitheroe; Bridgnorth; Cork (Ireland); Caversham; Birmingham Artsfest; Heather and Tamworth (of course!)

Barry's playing has always been about developing as many styles as possible and giving them his own slant. He likes to play heavy rock, blues, folk, country, pop, reggae, jazz, funk, punk and anything else he can turn his hand to!"
