Alright so this 'interview' was more a set of questions thrown at Bobby Barnes, (one of the founders of Baz) via Facebook, who then threw a couple of witty answers back at me about a month later! Bon apetite mes amis...
So who runs Bigger than Barry apart from yourself?
The 'Dream Team' consists of Kieran ' The Doctor' McInerney, a potato picking, pissed up immigrant. And one Sam 'Deadcat' Baylis, who is the singer in The Scarlet Harlots.
When and where was the first Bigger than Barry held?
21st December 2006. In the upstairs room of a grotty pub in Brum called The Ben Johnson. Famed for shootings during the 80's gun boom.
And why is the night called 'Bigger than Barry'?
Barry Austin. Worlds Fattest Man. Simple.
Birmingham and Leeds aside, where else does Barry roll?
Barry's Rolls are everywhere! Sheffield and Nottingham are pretty lively, we're planning on hitting Manchester, Bristol & Cardiff in due time.
How would you describe the music played at Barry?
Grimey, Grubby, Gritty, Dutty, Whyney, Hypey, Nicey Niceness. It's hard to put a finger on it, but I think that covers it.
Who does Barry like to play with?
Barry Likes to play with Tomb Crew, Toddla T, Mumdance, Oneman, Martelo, Andy George, Rusko. The new breed, we're all about the same age, so have the same influences, environments growing up and great haircuts. (WAFRO!!!)
Tell me about the Ibiza Invasion...
Ibiza is gonna be sickly, we're taking a couple of DJ's, load of bods, and some dutty tunes and taking over the white isle for 5 days. We've got our own hotel. BARRY TOWERS. And using clubs like Ibiza Rocks. Get ready for that!!!
Any tricks up your sleeve to make Barry even BIGGER in the future?
More tricks than David Blaine in a box. If I was to tell you though I'd get kicked out of your mum's magic circle.
So there you have it; a few words from a very droll kind of fellow indeed. I give you Bobby Barnes - creator, player, joker, ginger...!
