Barry Patrick

Out from the dark comes one of folks strongest talents, Barry Patrick. Drawing on inspiration in all genre's from Johnny Cash to Ryan Adams and Oasis to The Strokes, his full-bodied room-filling songs entice and excite. Not afraid to address some of todays less fashionable subjects, his passion and poetic dialogue create an interesting mix of goose-bump ballads and gritty rockabilly jaunts.Always out to shock and impress, Barry Patrick chose to record his debut EP in one take. His beautiful Hofner guitar, belting through an old Vox valve amp, create his 50's sound, which has become his trademark. Listen carefully to his amazing ballad 'Its in Your Heart' and you can pick out the pops and crackles of a track without the latest polishing-up process used in modern studios.Producer Fred Lagergren of Liberty Hall, was left astounded by the confidence and audacity as Barry demanded the tracks were left untouched and recorded from beginning to end without any re-takes or cuts. A moment he regards as one of the most defining in his career. Listen to his songs with an open soul. -Adam Bourn------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------SHOWS PLAYED LAST YEAR:Sun 6th July 2008 @ Prohibition, St.Katherines Dock Thurs 10th July 2008 @ Tommy Flynns (Carnation promotions), Camden Sun 20th July 2008 @ The Living Rooms, Islington london Sun 24th Aug 2008 @ Prohibition, St.Katherines Dock Sat 6th Sept 2008 @ Willow Live 08, Welwyn GC (SUPPORTING STARSAILOR)---NEW BAND AND DATES INCOMING!!!
