Barry has performed numerous shows in his career. Barry forged his career doing many gigs in bands such as Bravura, and “Variety shows” like Jumpin Jive, a recreation of artists in costume from the 50’s, and Catch 22, a recreation of artists in costume from the 80’s. These shows enhanced Barry’s versatility as an artist to this day. Hence when Barry joined The Herman’s Hermits Story, he fit in like a glove. Since that time Ron and Bas have continued to play together in bands and develop their style as a duo. Bas also spent time working on the Tamworth club circuit, and performing with notable artists like Troy Cassar-Daley. Barry is recognised as one of the best bass guitar players in his field, and adds nice vocal harmonies to Systematic.
