There are times in a publisher’s life when an opportunity comes around to work with a band that you have admired for years, and Little Barrie is one of those bands for me
Flash Taylor
Barrie Cadogan said: “So happy to be with Flash and Bucks Music Group, representing our works past, present and future. I've always liked spending time with Flash: a good soul who loves his music. Really looking forward to working together.”
Bucks Music Group senior A&R Flash Taylor said: “There are times in a publisher’s life when an opportunity comes around to work with a band that you have admired for years, and Little Barrie is one of those bands for me. Rich [Chamberlain, manager] first played me tracks off We Are Little Barrie when it was released back in 2005 and, although we didn't get to work together then, I've been listening to the band and all the other aspects of Barrie and Lewis' work ever since. I've met Barrie at numerous shows over the years. To now work with both his and Lewis' incredible catalogue, alongside the contributions of previous members – most notably Virgil Howe – is a great day indeed.”
