Barrington/Barry Rowe aka Tyrone

Post by takeitcool »

Wonder if any of you can help? I'm putting the finishing touches to a book that's going to be published later on this year and I'm keen to get in touch with Barrington/Barry Rowe aka Tyrone, who was a producer and owner of the Venture label in the late 70s. Anyone know anything of him? Or even if he's still around? I'd be most grateful for any information.

Have you tried phoning any of the numbers on the Venture record sleeves? PM me if you want them...

Thanks for the reply :) I guess I could try that, but chances are he will have moved on. Last I heard he was in Luton (in the 90s) and the electoral roll wasn't a lot of help there.

It gave me an excuse to dig out Lovers Rock and give it a play!

Hello,
I am a good friend of Barry, sadly he has been 'away' for a while and isn't able to really share info. You are right, he lives in Luton (as far as I'm aware).

He is still an amazing singer, although is busy with other matters.

he has moved around a lot which is probably why it was such a pain to find him!

Hope I have helped even a little!

Many thanks for that - very tantalising :) Are you at all in touch with him?

I know of some of his phone numbers and I believe I know his email address (although he may have lost the password or changed it)
