Barry (along with Rick Welton) was a legend.
He literally put Hull on the Musical map.
All the concerts Hull Truck promoted ensured that Hull got to see some great acts. My favourite being the Emerson Lake and Palmer one where Emmerson got to play the Hull City Organ stands out.
But Hull Truck ensured that lots of other acts like Quintessence, Free, Audience, he Strawbs and Yes actually graced Hull's City stage. I well remember Rick Wakeman in the Strawbs stealing the stage from Yes who saw that he was the answer to a prayer. Amazing Blondell stunning the group free into recommending them for Island Records. Genesis supporting Johnny Winter backed by the McCoys!
To this day I will never forgive Deep Purple for putting Top of the Pops before Hull...
A small recollection of Barry was when after Atomic Rooster had performed well but average at the city Hall in conversation he made the remark he could have had the Faces for the same price.
Later the Brick House was a godsend to the youth of Hull who loved progressive music/
Barry always seemed to really care about music in Hull he will be remembered fondly.

Thank you Barry
