Their collective influences have fused to create a fresh blend of uplifting music, embellished and delivered with equal measures of rock riffs, soulful melodies, folk jigs and infectious beats. Born from days of economic uncertainty and personal obstacles, The Barley Mob have set out to entertain, move and relate to their listeners. Through energetic and electric live shows they leave the crowds feeling as though they were involved in something special. Anthems such as "Never be lost" and "Everybodys' Music" tell the story of the importance of music in our lives, while a crowd favourite and upcoming single, "Stand Up, Rise Up, Big Up", urges us all to stand up and be counted amongst our peers. Since forming in April 2010, they have played over 300 gigs from the smallest snugs to illustrious festivals such as The Electric Picnic. Including winning international "Rising Stars 2010" as part of Dublin City Soul Festival where they played to over 6000 people in Merrion Square, Dublin. Every gig is a testament and endorsement to the band and has gained them many fans, and resulted in the band being described by the Irish Daily Star as "One of the tightest live bands on the circuit today" and “A ray of sunshine and an utterly brilliant live act” by Rte Radio 1’s Pat Kenny. The band recently took time out in the studio to record their first album, due for release in early 2013.
