Over a 20-plus year career, Little Barrie, led by guitar ace Barrie Cadogan and bassist Lewis Wharton have proven themselves to be one of the UK’s most respected and resilient bands, cooking up a genre blending sound that touches on the ’60s British blues explosion, deep funk, hip hop and the best rock n’ roll of the last six decades.
One of the world's most admired musicians, having worked on music for film and television (as well as his day job of being a guitarist), composing and performing the main title theme for the award winning Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Sauland composing the soundtrack to the documentary Year Of The Dog, Barrie has also contributed to music for Hollywood releases including Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, featuring on ‘Cotton Candy Land’ with Stevie Nicks & Chris Issak, and critically acclaimed BBC drama Peaky Blinders.
Along the way, he’s been the go-to guitar man for some of the music world’s most successful artists, serving as an integral member of Primal Scream from 2006-2015 and more recently as a member of The The, co-writing two songs with leader Matt Johnson on the band’s critically acclaimed 2024 comeback album Ensoulment, not to mention his stint as guitarist for Liam Gallagher at his historic sold out Knebworth shows and as bass player for Liam and John Squire’s 2024 world tour. All this along with an impressive CV of session work for the likes of Paul Weller, Morrissey, Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) and Edwyn Collins amongst others.
Meeting in the early 2000s and at various times working with the likes of Russell Simins (John Spencer’s Blues Explosion), underground hip hop supremo Dan The Automator, UK reggae hero Mike ‘Prince Fatty’ Pelanconi, Barrie & Lewis previously released five albums – We Are Little Barrie (2005), Stand Your Ground (2007), King Of The Waves (2011), Shadow (2013) and Death Express (2017) - before hooking up with musician / producer Malcolm Catto (The Heliocentrics, The Soul Destroyers), a legendary leading figure of the UK’s underground funk, jazz and psych scenes for over three decades.Age restriction: 14+ / 14 - 16s accompanied by an adult
