Barry Adamson

Barry Adamson has been creating all of his life.

Perhaps his greatest creation is himself as a multi-disciplined artist. The self-taught musician rose to prominence as the bass player in post punk legends, Magazine.

His establishment as a solo artist came after a three-year stint with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and heralded the release of his seminal first solo album, 'Moss Side Story'.

Having released nine studio albums, including the 1992 Mercury Music Prize nominated 'Soul Murder', Adamson has continued to tour globally with his talents being in as much demand by new generations of artists, as he was after his first solo release.

Barry Adamson's debut memoir Up Above The City, Down Beneath The Stars was published through Omnibus Press in September 2021.

Available as a hardback book and a very limited edition exclusive deluxe boxset, both personally signed by Barry Adamson.
