The Barry Williams Show

The official The Barry Williams Show video directed by Sean Penn. Produced by Jon C. Scheide.

Production company: C.I.H. Shorts Productions Inc

The Barry Williams Show was the first single from the album UP, released in 2002.

The final part of the two-letter, single-syllable trilogy UP was produced by Peter (and mixed by Tchad Blake and Stephen Hague). Hundreds and hundreds of hours of recordings were made, ultimately being slimmed down to the final ten tracks.

UP soon reveals itself to be another deeply personal statement, with birth and death being near-constant themes. Mostly recorded at Real World (although some initial recordings were made in Senegal, France and on a boat on the Amazon), the album sees contributions from the likes of Peter Green, Danny Thompson, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Daniel Lanois, the Black Dyke Band, Peter’s daughter Melanie and the late, great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
