Barry claimed his official title as 'Dr. Cheesy Keys' after achieving a PhD in Computer Science at Royal Holloway. He spent several years entertaining the audience during the interval at Vyners Swing Band gigs playing jazz standards on his organ. He was encouraged to join as a 'proper' member and, like many others, has not been able to leave since. He has also been known to appear on the Tenor Sax line but is usually found behind the ivories!
