Bio (medium length) - Barry and the Crumpets are a high-energy brass-led funk fusion band, with catchy comedic originals and crazily crumpetified classic party tunes. With influences including James Brown, Bruno Mars, The Blues Brothers, Ian Dury, The Beatles, The Cat Empire, Chic, AC/DC, and the Meters, the night awakes and shakes ‘neath the crumpet’s quake.

Barry and the Crumpets' Reviews

5 out of 5

Barry and the crumpets is a fantastic, high energy band, with incredible showmanship. It truly made my day to see them perform.

5 out of 5

We saw Barry and the Crumpets at the Mesmerist and we were hooked. Chaz (the frontman) is super talented as well as having a great ability to read the crowd. His music is versatile and it attracts people of all ages and musical tastes. More importantly the quality of the music and the arrangements are fantastic. I will certainly follow Chaz and his bands as they are a type of medicine for the soul.
