If you are a purist, look away now. If, like me , you will try anything once, then catch this young lady if she passes your way.
Her repertoire takes in quite a lot of Bob Dylan, some Leonard Cohen and Kristofferson, Joanie Mitchell,Nina Simone, but then a little Cole Porter on the side.
I saw her at the Cinnamon Club in Bowdon, Cheshire on Friday evening, her singing is fantastic, her patter LOL funny and her accompanist, given the excellent piano in the lounge at the club, was outstanding. She also provided a second voice on a few numbers.
S loved her too, and she doesn't always appreciate my musical tastes.
Great evening!

I saw her on a Dylan tribute show on BBC 4 a while ago, she's very good.

An excellent singer - I have booked her in the past with Mike Parker. Is she just going out solo now? They used to appear with Julian Clary.

In my pre The Hut People days I was lucky enough to have recorded with Barb on her Bob Dylan album, she is a lovely person and a great singer.

Looking at her web site I suspect she travels with the musicians to suit the venue, we have an intimate (ie Small) cabaret lounge or a larger dancing venue. Niel books acts to suit either, but has to trim his cloth a little in the present climate, hence Barb and accompanist rather than Barb and band.
I am yelling 'Come back soon. but she is in the States at the end of this month and then on tour in Norway.
