Wild Willy Barrett Biography

Wild Willy Barrett is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on May 30, 1950 in Aylesbury, England, United Kingdom.

Barrett comes from Aylesbury. He started playing the Ukelele at the age of 4 and soon moved on to other instruments. By the age of 15 he was gigging regularly. He worked with and recorded alongside and in collaboration with his emerging contemporaries. His first commercially available recordings can be found on Guitar Workshop, issued in 1973 by Transatlantic Records. He is also featured on The Contemporary Folk Guitar album with Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Gordon Giltrap & Ralph McTell. He has worked with many well known artists and has toured with Squeeze, Madness and Steeleye Span and played fiddle, guitar and mandolin for George Hamilton IV. He also played pedal steel guitar on the influential Keith Hudson reggae album entitled Rasta Communication, along with Sly and Robbie.

Then, in the mid-1980s, Barrett started experimenting and recording with a more electronic sound which had been explored in “DK 50/80” and “Birthday Boy” from “Way & Bar”. Following his mostly single-based approach at that point he recorded two singles, “Old Joe Clarke” and “Rapping on a Mountain”, in 1983 which were both released on Carrere Records. A single called “The Hitchhiker and the Punk” contained a much more textured and layered sound which was created from using in-studio effects and multi-tracking. This culminated, in Barrett’s words “By far the most ‘off the wall’ musical project I have embarked on”, in Organic Bondage. He made a wooden record sleeve for the album since he did not have the finances to get a sleeve printed.
