Little Barrie

About

Little Barrie are a British rock trio from Nottingham, formed in 2000 by guitarist and vocalist Barrie Cadogan, bassist Lewis Wharton and drummer Tony Coote. Their sound weaves blues, garage rock, funk and psychedelia into something that nods to the 1960s British beat scene without ever sounding like a museum piece. Cadogan composed and performed the main title theme for the acclaimed TV series Better Call Saul, and has toured as guitarist with Primal Scream, Liam Gallagher and The Black Keys. Their seventh studio album Gravity Freeze, released in May 2026, is their first record under the Little Barrie name since the death of drummer Virgil Howe in 2017.
