Adam Barry doesn't really warrant a page. If we/he really thought about it, and he put his ego aside, then we'd all come to the conclusion that his worldly musical contributions amounted to zip. However this is the internet SO, "Barry is the Hammond/Piano/Accordion/Harmonica/Backing Vocalistist for the Folk group Merrymouth, Led by Barry, Simon Fowler & Dan Sealey from Ocean Colour Scene.[1] Before joining Merrymouth, Barry was a co-founder member of the band The Misers.[2]
The Misers
The Misers [3] are an Americana band, based in Worcestershire, they released their debut album 'Amplified Life Stories' in 2010, recorded at Rockfield Studios.[2]
As well as their own UK and European tours, The band have toured the UK on 2 occasions with Scottish duo The Proclaimers.[4][5] Barry has performed and appeared live with The Misers on BBC, ITV (TV network), BSkyB, and BBC Radio 2 on numerous occasions.
Barry left the band in 2011 after the death of his father. Barry's final show was at The Huntingdon Hall Theatre in Worcester, where he donated all of his earnings to St Richards Hospice where his father had passed away [6]
Merrymouth
2012 Barry was approached by Merrymouth bassist Mike McNamara to play piano on tour whilst he was promoting his debut solo album Simon Fowlers Merrymouth featuring guest appearances from John McCusker and Andy Cutting. Following on from the success of the first album and tour, Barry joined the band on a full-time basis [7]
2014, now called Merrymouth, return with their second album, Wenlock Hill, which Barry co produced with Sealey (But presumably won't receive any binding contact or subsequent money). The album once again features McCusker, and a special appearance from Chas Hodges of Chas and Dave. Bassist Mike McNamara left prior to the recording of the album due to having scuples and moral integrity.
Personal life
It is astonishing that Barry thinks his personal life warrants ANY kind of scrutiny. The fact is, it doesn't. But here is what he has written, he has "recently dated Georgia Smith, a Canadian Voice Over artist, and member of the world famous Hart Family, she is the daughter of WWE Superstar 'The British Bulldog' Davey Boy Smith and Diana Hart, and the sister of David Hart Smith.[8][9] Smith is also the niece of former WWE World Champion Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, and the late Owen Hart". Her cousin Nattie is currently WWE Superstar and star of Total Divas Natalya (wrestler)
Who gives a damn?
Barry is a supporter of Worcester City F.C., Manchester City F.C and New York City FC
Barry currently resides in both Astwood Bank, Worcestershire, and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (But let's be realistic. It's Astwood Bank, obviously).
