ABOUT LOUIS BARABBAS:
"Louis Barabbas is such a unique talent. His music is intelligent, witty and has a kick to rival any fine liquer. Simply awesome."
Chris Holliday, BBC Radio Manchester.
"Excellent in every way: an outfit and a voice that belong in smoke-filled gin-joints where the booze drips off the ceiling and love is left outside."
Chris Hawkins BBC Radio 6
"Barnstorming vaudeville folk brilliance"
Chris Long - BBC Manchester
"Louis Barabbas & the Bedlam Six are one of the best and unique bands for their music, theatre and entertainment that the UK has produced this century..these guys are heading for stardom without doubt"
USA Weekly News
"Tales of a malignant mind; the wild early versions of fairy tales before Disney dilution; the twisted whispers in which Red Riding Hood stayed eaten and Goldilocks paid for her porridge-pilfering... If the mad and exciting musical tales didn't wake the neighbours, the surging howls of approval by the end certainly should have got the knuckles rapping the walls."
Whisperin and Hollerin Magazine, March 2008
"One of the finest magicians of metaphor we have e'er encountered"
A. Valliard, Tragically Flawed Books
"Absolutely bloody amazing"
Danny Goffey, Supergrass
"He had us all transfixed... The first interview I've ever done where I've felt intimidated"
Jont, Final Episode of Orange Unlit's "The Road We're On"
"Such a fearsome moustache"
Andy Crane, BBC GMR
