MY SON, CHARLIE LINDO BARNEY & WIFE, MEL / MUM & DAD (ANN & MIKE BARNEY) FOR CONSTANT YEARS OF SUPPORT & ENCOURAGEMENT / MY 'EXTENDED FAMILY' IN LIVERPOOL, ROY, MARGIE & TASHA... + EVERY MUSICIAN, RECORD & CONCERT THAT I'VE HEARD/SEEN !
" I WAS BORN IN NORWICH IN THE FUNKY 70'S - AS A YOUNG KID I PLAYED ON BISCUIT TIN'S & SCHOOL DESK'S, THEN TALENT SHOWS & HOLIDAY CAMPS ... MOVED ON TO PLAYING THE CLUBS & PUBS IN MY LATE TEENS... IN 1994 I THOUGHT 'I GOTTA GIVE THIS A GO FULL-TIME' ' & RE-LOCATED TO LIVERPOOL TO JOIN THE BAND 'BULLYRAG'.
WENT ON THE DOLE FOR A BIT, REHEARSED HARD, BULLYRAG GOT A RECORD DEAL, WE MADE AN ALBUM, PACKED OUR BAGS & TOUR TOUR TOURED ...WE CAME HOME & GOT DROPPED FROM THE RECORD LABEL. WENT BACK ON THE DOLE...
... I DECIDED TO BECOME A FREELANCE DRUMMER & HAVE SINCE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO PLAY WITH SOME GREAT ARTISTS (SOME BIG SOME SMALL). EITHER WAY, I'M HAPPIEST SITTING BEHIND A DRUM KIT, TOURING/RECORDING, LAUGHING & SHARING 'GOOD TIMES & TRAVELS' WITH GREAT MUSICIANS & GREAT PEOPLE.
IN A NUTSHELL, I LOVE WHAT I DO & AM LUCKY TO DO WHAT I LOVE ! "

" Steve is my kind of drummer.
The drummer is like the foundation of a house. Everything else comes from that core place of stability. When I'm performing I don't want to be distracted by fluctuations in the ground that's supporting me, the tempo or groove. That's my boy Steve. He's right there in the pocket...always. Economy,consistency and power. He's the man for the job " -
ANNIE LENNOX

JEFF BECK

As you can tell, I don't have your awesome talent for staying touch and I think I can speak for everyone you know when I say - you're an incredibly special and beautiful individual and a caring and sweet friend to everyone whose lucky enough to be counted as one of your freinds.... sorry I've been a stranger!!!
We're in San Diego playing some awesome house shows and having a great time. We're on tour for about another month - but we'll be taking some belated honeymoon time in the middle : )
