Straight Ahead "in your face Scottish Blues Band
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
With no change from a combined 160 years on the
Blues /Rock Highway, Barrelhouse come on stage
looking like Scottish "Lifers" out on parole to
attend a Gangland funeral.
It's only when they hit their traditional, contemporary and self composed Blues stride that you realise that they are only now peaking after hellraising in clubs throughout the U.K., France, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany and (most intriguingly) North Africa.
With a unique combination of Grit, Guts and
Savoir Faire, Barrelhouse are "Elegantly Battered
Rockers", their music documenting their chequered
intertwined experiences and their genuine affinity
for the Blues.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
