MUSIC MANAGEMENT
Barney is a member of the Music Managers Forum and gets a lot of satisfaction from artist management. Being involved in every aspect of an artists career can be exhausting, but is never dull! He managed Reuben for their entire career, before going on to manage Dominie Hooper, Sick Joy and more.
We currently work with multi award-winning musician Chris Wood, rising folk singer and poet Aayushi, and Wales' most intriguing musical outliers 9Bach.
We are not looking to take on any additional management clients.
In a world of soundbites and distractions Chris Wood is a truth seeker. His writing is permeated with love and wry intelligence, uplifting and challenging as he celebrates the sheer one-thing-after-anotherness of life. Tom Robinson and Chris Difford are fans while Stick In The Wheel and The Unthanks look to him as an influence. Winner of 6 BBC Folk Awards, he’s played with The Royal Shakespeare Company and was a key member of The Imagined Village along with Billy Bragg and Martin Carthy. A wise and soulful craftsman, his concerts are a cliche free zone.

9Bach cut through the noise as Wales' most intriguing musical outliers. With Lisa Jên Brown's haunting vocals leading the charge, they've carved out territory where ancient Welsh roots collide with cutting-edge soundscapes—creating vibrant evolving compositions.9Bach’s songs reflect their strong roots in home, the free party scene, and their frequent international travels. Their music becomes a bridge between generations, between past and present, capturing the complexity of cultural identity through sound. In 2025, they teamed up with renowned drummer Andy Gangadeen - adding new pulse and rhythms to 9Bach's already captivating sonic approach.

British-Indian folk singer-songwriter Aayushi writes strikingly tender songs, delivering them with an intimacy that has often been described as the sonic equivalent of a warm hug. She creates ‘poems disguised as songs’, using dream imagery and minimalist melodies to evoke an atmosphere that is soft, translucent and hypnotic.With over 10 million streams across multiple self-released singles, Aayushi has reached #1 on Spotify’s Most Beautiful Songs in the World playlist and received radio play on 6Music, BBC Introducing and Voice FM. She's co-headlined the Southbank Centre, supported Frank Turner, been selected for Opera North’s Resonance programme and Dialled In’s Resonate residency, and appeared at Purbeck Folk Festival, Deer Shed Festival and the Commonwealth Games. Aayushi is currently working on her debut album.
