Only met Barry the once, at the awards do when Darren Kelly was unveiled as manager. He spent the evening telling anyone who'd listen that he thought appointing Kelly was a mistake (obviously it turned out it was, but publicly slating the bloke you've just appointed was hardly 'doing things in the right way') and demanding to know who Harry Bosch was. His daughter ended up screaming in my face calling me a 'keyboard warrior' because I disagreed with her husband (and it was him who approached us and asked for our opinion) about Ched Evans.
Call me a band waggoner if you like, but you can only take people as you find them.
