It’s happening: The first of a new sequence of releases from ATB faves Barbara – their new single – Waiting Outside Alone – will be with us next week!

If you’ve been with us for any length of time whatsoever, you’ll know that we’re BIG fans of Brighton band, Barbara. We raved over their April 22 mini-album, Mildly Entertaining (one of my selections for ATB Album of the Year – watch this space) and we loved the live shows in Brighton and Manchester that we were fortunate to pop along to. When we spoke with the Tydeman brothers – John and Henry, who form the creative core of this amazing outfit – after their show at Gulliver’s in Manchester in September, they dropped a few undisguised hints that they had enough material in their pipeline to fill a much-awaited follow-up to Mildly…

And, happily, we’re about to reap the first fruits of those Barbara off-stage labours very shortly – on 9th November, in fact, when the band’s new single, Waiting Outside Alone, will hit the airwaves. If you’re already a converted Barbarette, you’ll probably be familiar with the song, as it’s the number they usually use to open their live shows – and, by the way, if you haven’t already had the Barbara live experience, there’s a hole in your life that you never knew existed…

Like all their other favourites – Rainy Days in June, BRB, Don’t Send Me Messages, A Perishing of Cherished Things and all the rest, Waiting Outside Alone promises yet another slice of classic Barbara fop-pop. We can’t wait…
