Harmonica

Barry has been playing harmonica since he was 16; he mainly plays Rock,  English Folk and Americana (blues, old time, jug band) on diatonic Richter tuned harmonicas (such as the Hohner Marine Band). He plays both acoustic and amplified harp, and also using a harmonica rack. He has attended lessons and workshops with a number of great teachers including Jason Ricci, Liam Ward, Annie Raines, Joe Felisko, Ben Hewlett, Ed Hopwood and Will Wilde. Barry also plays chromatic harmonica, guitar and washboard. He is Executive Chair of the charity HarmonicaUK, and plays in a ’60s cover band.

Harmonium

Barry has been playing and harmonium for well over 10 years, after being inspired to play while attending yoga teacher training and Santosa Yoga and Bhakti camps. Having had some keyboard lessons as a teenager was a helpful start, and then he gained experience playing kirtan at yoga festivals and in yoga studios. He has been leading kirtan evenings for Devon School of Yoga courses for over 10 years, and plays at yoga festivals and kirtan evenings in Devon and Cornwall.
