Name: Beyond the Bars
Type: group
City/State/Country: Newport, Wales
Genre/Style: folk-rock
BEYOND THE BARS are a south Wales based band, whose music has been described as "folk-rock" and even "folk with attitude"! Such raw descriptions belie a wide range of influences: the Incredible String Band, Dylan, traditional Celtic music (with regard to musical roots) and many literary roots also. The diversity of tastes, interests and musical backgrounds within the band results in a very mixed and lively set. The wealth of material, with the exception of only one song, is all original.
