The apotheosis of sublime's apogee with a cherry on top
'Two young performers who confidently uphold the richness of the British folk tradition with superbly crafted self-written songs and fine interpretations of English folk song, beautifully sung with great sincerity and with impeccable musical accompaniment. Their beguiling lyrics often draw upon the stories, legends and folklore of the South-West. These two are well loved by our audiences and we strongly recommend them to all other clubs, large or small.' Della and Chris Hooke, The Red Lion Folk Club 'Folk Club of the Year' BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2006
Absolutely magnificent, brilliant instrumentation and vocals- destined for great things Excellent mix of self-penned and traditional, something for everybody and great choruses

Sensational- quite a few people have said to me that you were the best thing at the festival this year (08) Andy Knight, Organiser- Bideford Folk Festival
We’ve only once booked someone from just listening to their demo and this is that time... A great evening of entertainment, wonderful songs, beautifully crafted arrangements- superb. They sing about things that matter to people Graham and Ali Willis, Organisers, Greenman Folk Club
“They are young and very differnet and really have something valueable to offer:” Folk on Tap
Good songs well sung Mike Harding, Radio 2.
Two young and immensely talented individuals... they possess a vocal style that sends shivers down your spine folking.com.
Revitalising the tradition with dynamic instrumentation, rousing singing and masterful song-writing. Barron Brady are acclaimed for performing a diverse repertoire of beautifully crafted self-penned songs and well-chosen and brilliantly arranged English folk song. They perform with a virtuosity and verve, at one moment entertaining the audience with their inimitable humour, the next moving them to tears with piercing songs.
A Barron Brady performance is inspiring and enchanting, they create a much bigger sound than is generally expected from a duo and they have an assured presence on the large or small stage
AS one reviewer put it ‘Barron Brady demonstrate most clearly in their work the relevance of the old tradition expertly employed to reflect a modern world’
The Law of Return tour 09 sees Barron Brady travelling throughout the UK promoting a new album imbued with a sense of the landscape of England
