Preview - Barbara - Tramshed, Cardiff - 2 Nov 2023

Currently supporting Haircut 100 on their current UK tour, Barbara are creating waves with their glorious West Coast, 70’s pop rock sound that is a melting pot of truly eclectic influences that will intrigue you, making them certainly a name to watch as their music gets to the masses.

Hailing from Brighton, the band, namely brothers Henry and John Tydeman have a unique approach that goes far and above the obvious Glam rock, American Beach Boy harmonies that they no doubt admire and have inspired them.

But it’s not just melody that sets them apart from the pack. Lyrically they have the quintessential Britishness that creates a heady mix that can’t fail to impress any listener, and something they and their bandmates can seemingly effortlessly repeat in their live performances.

Having had the good fortune seeing the band previously I would advise anyone fortunate to have tickets for the evening to get to the gig early and see what Barbara have to offer. You will not be disappointed.
