Barry is a Nice Name is the story of a boy growing up in South London during the 50's and 60's. It deals with his adoption, upbringing, home life, schooling and adolescence - all with humour, a little self-analysis, and more than a few comparisons between then and now. It demonstrates the importance of music, friendship and guidance in his life, and offers a few trenchant observations on the superficiality of the modern world, the nanny state and organised religion. It's history, and it's his story.
