Star of Steve Wright’s Radio 2 show for ten years, the resident lifestyle coach and local legend Barry From Watford heads out on his debut tour at the age of 92!


Using his home Super 7 Cine archive films (from the Harold Baim Collection) Barry takes us back to old holidays and pass-times of a British yesteryear and in the hilarious process evokes a warm nostalgic landscape.


But don’t assume he’s another one of those flag flying mouth-breathers whipped up of late. He has plenty to say about the difficulties of growing up in the satellite town of Watford since 1950 and how he’d love us all to move forward together.

For the most part Barry is just proud to show off his wonderful wife Margaret, his charming daughter Michelle and his lunatic son, Dave.


hether covering the sorts of jobs his class could expect to take up, his hilarious record collection or the romantic liaison that nearly cost him his marriage in the early 1960s, Barry will have you laughing through affectionate tears.
