Little Barrie, a legendary British power trio following in the footsteps of Cream and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, began as guitar wizard Barrie Cadogan's solo project. He adopted the moniker from a friend's father in Nottingham. He was surrounded by as much great music as he could bear while growing up in Robin Hood country, from DC hardcore and electronica to R&B and jazz, to psychedelic and acid-rock in the 1980s.
When he first met Lewis Wharton at the mod clothing store Merc on Carnaby Street, where the band's future bassist was in charge of the record department, he had already begun performing as Little Barrie. Little Barrie took off after Barrie convinced him to keep copies of his debut single in stock.
Lewis and drummer Wayne Fullwood made their debut together with the blue-eyed soul/funk standard "We Are Little Barrie." With the rockabilly tinged "Stand Your Ground," LB made a comeback following their extensive travels through Europe, Japan, Australia, and the US, as well as their remixes of UK hip-hop bands Aspects and DJ Format. The band, now featuring Russell Simins (of John Spencer's Blues Explosion) and Billy Skinner on percussion, was produced by UK reggae legend Mike "Prince Fatty" Pelanconi and underground hip hop titan Dan The Automator. The Guardian praised Barrie, calling him "a compelling frontman, pitting street-corner punk vocals against volleys of reverb and twang.".
