What I do

Create

I write songs for group and solo performance. I've been making my own recordings for a good few years now. I can provide high-quality, low-cost sound and production for singer-songwriters and bands. Email me and we can sketch out a plan.

Perform

I play original music solo gigs and also with my band, across Liverpool, in London and elsewhere. And I also perform in bars, restaurants and events, covering a range of styles from jazz to pop to classics - see also for-hire

Collaborate

From festivals to Bowie nights, music takes me all over the country. In addition to my own band, I collaborate with various other musicians, and even played in an adaptation of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. Get in touch if you have an idea you want to share.

kind words

“Barney (solo or band) never fails to give a riveting, can’t-take-your-eyes-off-him performance that will have you wondering what goes on in his head and how he sends it to his fingertips and voice and gets them to do his bidding. The set is full of firstly…familiarity, and secondly..quite shocking surprises, all delivered with a stunning accomplishment of musicianship and vocal trickery. A consummate performer indeed!”

Tony

Tony Lock - One Umbrella Music

A Lyrical Genius with a voice that can take you back in time in a heartbeat or propel you into the future in an instant. Simply magical.

Ronnie

Ronnie Swift Laurie, Marland Music

“Fresh from a Glastonbury appearance, expect dark tales of love, loss and casual vampirism set to tunes that the Devil wants back. Influenced by the likes of Bowie, Talking Heads, Nick Cave, and with the storytelling gifts of Tom Waits, this is a band that plays it like they mean it.”

Chris

Chris Palmer, Editor, The Crammer

“Rakish, nocturnal, and perhaps better suited to the catastrophic, subterranean atrophic clubs of Weimar Berlin. A string of successful shows in the bowels of the city saw Barney Goodall swept into the studio by Ocean Waves productions. The start of 2016 saw the successful release of the NightHawks E.P. “…a huge slice of sophisticated pop.”
And there is now much more on the way.”
