Barbara The Band

“Barbara are wonderful. I love their songs and their humour. We need more Barbara in our lives!” - Chris Difford

“Barbara are one of the best groups about. Live they’re great, and their songs too. Clever and melodic. The Babs are fab!” - Paul Weller



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 Harold Pinter, George Orwell and Ray Davies.

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. In spring 2024, Barbara appeared as special guests of Paul Weller on his UK tour who again, handpicked them to perform.

For fans of The Kinks, The Lemon Twigs, Electric Light Orchestra and The Feeling.
