Seeing as things are a bit busier here now; hello, I’m Barry.

I write big riffs and yell under the name Oxygen Thief

I also write sad songs and sing nicely as Non Canon

I’ve made a playlist to introduce you to both projects, give it a whirl;

I’ve just been doing this with Andor: tense quiet interpersonal drama intercut with ear splitting wedding dance anthems.
Going back to watching Witcher is interesting because it's the first time in a while I've had to do the volume control game, the talking scenes are inaudible if the volume is set for the sudden explosive noises whenever anyone does anything vaguely violent

Forgot to mention - if funds are a problem, there’s a half price ticket option.

If that’s still too much, but you’d like to come, please let me know and I’ll put you on the guestlist.

No questions, no judgement on either. Let’s have a lovely time.

I’m having a weekend away from Internet as am finding it A Bit Much at the moment.

Here’s a live version of a song from the new album. It’s about small talk and putting up a front and adverts and the clocks changing:

“Cheapskate degenerates”, I think, passing the people stood outside the cricket ground with glasses of wine ready to watch the firework display for free…as I hurry past them to do exactly the same thing.

IT ARRIVED.

My third Non Canon record, pictured with the original paintings that I’ll be passing onto their new home soon.

Really chuffed with how it came out, thanks to @artisangossip.bsky.social’s design skills.
