BarlowCree...
BarlowCree is a Cardiff based folk-acoustic duo performing original material and adaptations of traditional and contemporary folk songs.
"Barlowcree... their original songs are powerful and their covers are... well, original." (Genevieve Tudor - BBC Radio)
Playing folk clubs and festivals, with energy, good humour and a story or two...
BarlowCree launched their debut album "Holystone" in summer 2011
Origins...
Barlow - a Yorkshire slang term for the safe place during a game of "tig" - Jonny is from Bradford
Cree - South Walean slang for immunity during a game of "touch" or "tag" - Liam is from Newport

Mick Tems heard us play at Llantrisant Folk Club in January and has now published his thoughts on this and a review of our album, Holystone, on the FolkWales.org online magazine.
Of the album he says, "A very impressive debut from Cardiff-based BarlowCree..."
After the gig at Llantrisant, Mick wrote, "Jonny has a splendid rock voice with a breath-taking range, and Liam is inspiring on acoustic guitars; he’s also a very tasty tenor, adding some jaw-dropping harmonies with his super-high notes. BarlowCree has got attitude by the shedful."

NEWS: Holystone reviewed in Taplas magazine...
The November 2011 edition of Taplas magazine (The Voice of folk in Wales and the Borders) includes a review of the BC debut album, Holystone. There's no online edition, so here's a quote:
"Of the 10 tracks on their first CD, three are traditional songs, Newfoundland, The Blind Harper and a great version of Lord Franklin, and seven are self-penned songs. They provide most of their own accompaniment on guitars, bazouki, guitara, bass, dulcima and percussion. Their song writing shows real talent. San Jose, from the standpoint of one of the Chilean miners, is quite brilliant."
Note: Newfoundland has trad. words, but the music is by BarlowCree
