BARRON BRADY
Barron Brady comprising Ros Brady and Si Barron are contemporary songwriters and interpreters of traditional English folk song.
Barron Brady have toured Ireland, Scotland as well as completing numerous extensive England tours (well over 500 gigs over the last six years). They have performed at all major UK festivals and clubs. Their albums have gained air time on Radio 2 and Radio 3, and applause from industry and fans alike. Barron Brady: intimate, memorable, honest, superb and ‘No extraneous guff’.
Drawn to strongly narrative songs with subjects ranging from Devon legend to contemporary rural reportage they invite the listener to accompany them through strange landscapes whose denizens include coffee drinking Mermaids, corn mowing Devils, flying highwaymen and disappearing Hedgerows.
They have a dynamic acoustic style combining joy and verve in performance with an assured stage presence garnered from five years of performing nationwide.
Simon’s ballistic fingerstyle guitar complemented by Rosalind’s harmonium and whistles underlines their harmony singing.
Tickets can be bought from the venue at £10.00 in advance (£12.00 on night) or can be reserved by ringing 01803 328290
