"Barbara are so up my street... really tight songwriting, very poptastic!” - Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy)
“Barbara are wonderful. I love their songs and their humour. We need more Barbara in our lives!” - Chris Difford (Squeeze)
Taking their lead musically from an eclectic set of influences that range from Glam Pop to Broadway, Barbara make classic, irresistible pop music with a literary and intellectual approach. Whilst the influence on the music is noticeably American, Barbara’s lyrics are quintessentially British, infused with the inquisitive, satirical spirit of George Orwell and Ray Davies.
Last year they appeared as special guests of Paul Weller on his sold out UK tour, and release their debit album on Sept 5th: linktr.ee/barbaratheband
In 2022, Barbara were handpicked by Neil Hannon to support The Divine Comedy on their UK tour, and a year later they played fourteen shows in support of Haircut One Hundred. Last year they appeared as special guests of Paul Weller on his sold out UK tour, including his flagship gig at Edinburgh Castle.
For fans of The Kinks, Electric Light Orchestra, and The Feeling.
Barbara
Songwriting brothers from Hove. A bit of 70s US AM radio, a dash of English music hall, the effortless catchiness of a Broadway musical, a sprinkling of sequinned power pop, luscious Disney strings and glorious golden harmonies. What's not to love?
