In love with the Blues
Barry fell in love with the blues in the early 1980s after growing up with music by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Eric Clapton. He traced the music back to its source and discovered Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, etc. Once found, there was no turning back. This passion for blues led Barry to produce and host his radio show Blues On The Hill, dedicated to "Keeping the blues alive," playing the latest and greatest from around the world, with an hour dedicated to the new Australian blues.

Barry is very excited to be involved with the Hume Blues Club and promises that you will hear only the best new blues available. He is co-founder and president of Hume Clues Club, where he also books artists. He is also MCs for special Blues events around Melbourne, Blues Music Victoria (as president), bringing together venues, festivals, clubs and the blues industry. Some of his activities and skills include...
