Following his West End Debut at The Adelphi Theatre, Barry, originally from Halesowen, is joined on stage by a five-piece band and sensational guest pianist Boogie Williams as the production present original material written but never sung by Roy Orbison and showcase elements of the symphonic orchestration first heard on the recently released albums.
