Norman Barratt - Alwyn Wall Band

Alwyn Wall Band

At the start of his recording career Barratt became a Christian, and with the breakup of Gravy Train he made the conscious decision to play with other Christian acts. Initially he worked with the band Mighty Flyers, contributing lead guitar to their second and third albums, Under New Management (1975) and What Kind of King (1975). In 1976 he joined Alwyn Wall, one half of the Malcolm & Alwyn duo, and they formed the Alwyn Wall Band. They signed a record deal with Word Records and released one LP, The Prize, in 1977. The band then embarked on a major tour of European and Scandinavian countries as support to Larry Norman. They spent a year living in Nashville, Tennessee, as a base for further touring, and then the band broke up in 1979.
