Si Barron is a folk singer, songwriter, superb self-taught musician based in Devon. He has a deep relationship with English traditional music and a gift for turning time-honoured melodies into foot tapping anthems.

I have been singing and playing English Traditional Song nationally for 20 years, first with the duo Barron Brady and now as a solo performer. As a self-taught guitarist I try to keep the accompaniment out of the way of the words and melody, it’s the songs that matter. Folk music is exciting, moving and relevant, hallowed by time- the only kind of music that never gets old. I celebrate that and hope I demonstrate my love for this powerful music every time I sing.

With his rich voice and intense driving guitar sound which can switch from fast and boisterous to measured and moving (sometimes within the same song) Si communicates an infectious love of English music through his exciting renditions of the tradition and his own strongly narrative songs

As one half of Barron Brady alongside Rosalind Brady he has travelled around the UK and sung in many of the main Folk Clubs and Venues. Here in a solo capacity the full verve and diversity of his ability is unrestrained and makes for an exciting evening of acoustic entertainment

“I think he’s a really, really fine guitarist and an even finer interpreter of traditional and contemporary folk songs. His new album is called ‘Sweet Billy Caution’. I think it’s a lovely album, he’s got a crystal clear voice and a simple but powerful accompaniment on the album… totally and utterly beautiful.”  Mike Harding
