Barratt Band
Barratt still had a publishing contract with ATV Music, and whilst waiting for it to expire, so that he could record his own songs again, he spent the next two years doing studio session work. Acts he worked with included the Mandala Band and the Victor Brox Blues Train.
Once more having control over his work, Barratt then formed the Barratt Band, and in 1980 a new Christian record company, Chapel Lane, invited the band to record for them. In 1981 Playing in the City was released and became an instant hit around the world. Once again, he set out on a major tour, taking in the United States, Europe and Scandinavia. During this period Barratt helped Wall to record his Invisible Warfare album (1981) and worked on the Friends on Tour album with the Barratt Band, Alwyn Wall and Larry Norman.
In 1983 the Barratt Band finally released their second album, Voice

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
