I totally agree with you Roly. A very fine player indeed. Back in the day when I was a semi-regular barfly at The Spice of Life in Soho, Barry was invariably the house pianist. As these were usually nights for wanabee vocalists Barry had his work cut out but, he never failed. Probably one of the best accompanists on the scene. A role he also performed admirably with Ian Shaw at Sage Gateshead a year or two back. And, of course, a superb solo player in his own right. No wonder you were hooked Roly! Throw in his unrelated namesake on bass and you have some very verdant music pastures.
