Barry was born in the North of England and moved to London at the age of 15 where the young guitarist and budding musician met Steve Took of T-Rex and banjo player Larry Wallace. Through these connections Barry eventually ended up playing guitar for the blues band Blodwyn Pig alongside Mick Abrahams of Jethro Tull.
