Barry is also planning shows in London for June and July.
He may well also appear at Shambala festival this summer.
----> NEWS...March 2008
As some have witnessed Barry the Badger appeared in July last year and began to sabotage the BADgertRAP live act.
Barry the badger took live internet BBC3 production Upstaged by storm. Acts needed to perform for 6 hrs inside a glass box and people vote online. He won three contests in a row and made the last 8.
It is a rare event for such an offbeat act to do so well in a 'talent' show. Barry beat a down with it hip-hop act, a trendy cooking show and a heavy rock band. 95 % of his lyrics were censored so the show was improvised from start to finish. That is 30 hrs inside a glass box in Bristol!

Spare Velvet-like chords provide the bedding for wry Richman-echoing songs with ace lines like :
“We can get married wherever we like, we just can’t have sex in Nebraska because you’re 13 and I’m 21. And also you’re my sister so all our children will be blue.”
-Julian Owen of Venue magazine-
