  • Yeahhhhhh !!!!!!

  • Sad to learn Norman has passed. I never had the joy of hearing him live, but his playing on "The Prize" was killer.

  • What a brilliant guitarist he was! - RIP Norman Barratt - may he playing & singing alongside Larry Norman & Keith Green - What a great band that would be!!!!!

  • what a talent rip norman

    

  • RIP Norman Barratt 30 July 2011, much loved and sadly missed.

  • Rip Norm!!

  • Still an amazing guitarist! Nice one, Norman!!

  • he's FAT OMG

  • I played bass with The Mighty Flyers in 1976. Norman played with us that year as well. I will never ever forget the unique sound of his axe. Earlstown, who would have thought it could produce such a brilliant guy. I have a master of a ...Flyers concert with Norman doing some brill solos. It is on metal cassette, so pretty good sound, and remastered. Maybe one day I will convert it to mp3 and share it

  • Yes, I know him and the other band members. I live in Newton-le-Willows myself. You are Norman's son and I claim my five pounds.

  • Norman Barratt lives in Newton Le Wilows. He has a website called davalmusic, He still does the odd gig with his old band The Hunters.

  • A Legend.

  • "Norman Norman Norman!" Still on the greats!

  • Hi everione! I need a little help from you. I'm looking for lyrics of A ballad of a peaceful man and I just can't find them... If anyone knows the lyrics I would be very thankful....

  • @chof09 Norman has a website. Google davalmusic. He will be able to help you.

  • @TrinityRocksFarm Thanks

  • I've been listening to Gravy Trtain for years, lived in Haydock/St,Helens and Wigan and seen this guy but never knew who he was!

  • google "Davalmusic" and check out Norman's website. That album "Playing in the city " is so good!!!!!!!

  • Hey John, How is your Dad? I used to go AOG in Wigan and he was about then.

  • Where is Norman now?..I can tell you where he was last night..Winwick Social Club Warrington...I was there !!

  • @safeway56 He still lives in Newton Le Willow and does gigs every now and then with his old group, The Hunters

  • NORMAN BARRAT is a legend !

    his albums with Gravy train are classic Proto prog.

    i wish we could get any footage of gravy train...

  • I love this guy like a brother. . . .Roadied for him all over this fine country in the 70's, and remained friends since. When his fingers touch the neck of a guitar, something HOLY happens. I'm not religious, but I do believe Norman has a gift to share with us.

  • any Gravy Train story?

    any footage?

    thks.

  • Not that have stood the test of time, if however you come across any footage or bootleg live gig stuff im sure dad would love to have a copy, Cheers mate

  • wow.....

    you are Norman`s son....that so cool...

    for long time trying to find something about Gravy Train -LEGENDARY BAND!!!!!

    I HAVE ALL 4 lpS ...the most beautiful is A ballad of a peaceful man

    please say hi to Norm from Ontario.

    THANKS SO MUCH...

  • Just to say I saw your dad play in Manchester with the Alwyn Wall Band as support to Larry Norman. It was a life changing experience.

    The last night of the tour, they ended up playing from sheet music strewn all over the stage. Wonderful stuff.

  • What a solo!!!! Used to be a big Barratt Band fan so finding this has been pure joy.His playing is quite stunning - who needs Lukather!Awesome job, Norman. Miss the 335 tho. Anyone got any clips of him playing "Decender"?

  • Well well, got this sudden thought, wonder what Norman is up to? Good old google led me here. Wowee, yes, it is I, who once played bass with you in the Mighty Flyers. In my estimation, Norman goes alongside the late, great Terry Kath, and you can't get much better than that.

  • hes doin fine m8

  • not many better with those strings than norman

  • that was sum sick guitar playing !!!!!

  • not bad for a beginner!

  • CLASS!!!! cheers for those guitars Norm! If only i could play em... Oh well another 2 Custom Strats towards my ever increasing collection that were owned and played by the LEGEND himself NORMAN BARRAT....cheers and good health to ya mate.... Pove!
