BIOGRAPHY:

Superb drummer, he appears in dozens of albums, always delivering a fantastic work. His name appears credited in different shapes: Barry DeSouza, Barry Da Souza, Barry De Sousa, but I guess Barry De Souza is the correct one.

I haven´t been able to find biographical data about him. Besides, it´s extremely complicated finding info about his live work, so if someone knows more bands and lineups where he has played, I´d be very grateful.

---

SPINNING WHEEL

---

Around 1969, this was the lineup of this that already contained musicians that were to become very famous:

SPINNING WHEEL #?				1969-1970
Mike Starrs vocals	Geoff Whitehorn guitar	Gary Moore † guitar	Pete Sills bass	Rick Wakeman keyboards	Barry De Souza † drums

Rick Wakeman was replaced by John Stevenson in 1970.

In 1970, John Stevenson joins Spinning Wheel:

SPINNING WHEEL #?				1970-?
Mike Starrs vocals	Geoff Whitehorn guitar	Gary Moore † guitar	Pete Sills bass	John Stevenson keyboards	Barry De Souza † drums

I don´t know how much they stayed together. Help with info, please!

---

CURVED AIR

---

For a while, in 1971, the band´s drummer Florian Pilkington-Miksa had some problem that prevented him from playing, so Francis Monkman brought his mate Barry De Souza during that period.

CURVED AIR #?			1971
Sonja Kristina vocals	Ian Eyre bass	Francis Monkman keyboards	Darryl Way violin	Barry De Souza † drums

The band appeared with this lineup at the German Beat Club TV program.

---

RICK WAKEMAN BAND

---

In October 1972, Rick Wakeman plays at TV show The Old Grey Whistle Test with this band comprising old mates (mainly from Strawbs):

RICK WAKEMAN BAND #?			1972
Rick Wakeman keyboards	Dave Cousins	Chas Cronk	Dave Lambert	Barry De Souza † drums

---

SHAWN PHILLIPS BAND

---

This was the Shawn Phillips Band around March 1973:

SHAWN PHILLIPS BAND #?		1973
Shawn Phillips vocals, guitar	Pete Walmsley guitar	Peter Robinson keyboards	Barry De Souza † drums

---

QUATERMASS

---

Around January 1974, Quatermass had Barry De Souza on drums:

QUATERMASS #?	1974
John Gustafson bass, vocals	Peter Robinson keyboards	Barry De Souza † drums

They toured opening for Shawn Phillips, and then, they also acted as Phillips´ backing band.

---

SHAWN PHILLIPS BAND (again)

---

Around January 1974, Shawn Phillips was playing gigs backed by the later incarnation of Quatermass:

SHAWN PHILLIPS BAND #?		1974
Shawn Phillips vocals, guitar	John Gustafson bass	Peter Robinson keyboards	Barry De Souza † drums

And, again in October 1974, Shawn Phillips was keeping the same backing band:

SHAWN PHILLIPS BAND #?		1974
Shawn Phillips vocals, guitar	John Gustafson bass	Peter Robinson keyboards	Barry De Souza † drums

---

QUATERMASS (again)

---

Sometime in 1974, Quatermass expanded to a quintet after the musicians played together in an album called Ablution. So, they started toured with this lineup:

QUATERMASS #?			1974
Janne Schaffer guitar	John Gustafson bass, vocals	Peter Robinson keyboards	Malando Gassama † percussion	Barry De Souza † drums

---

DAVID ESSEX BAND

---

This was one of the lineup for David Essex Band, although I haven't been able to know the period when this happened:

DAVID ESSEX BAND #?					?
David Essex vocals	Phil Palmer guitar	Mark Griffiths guitar	Mike Thorn bass	Ronnie Leahy keyboards	Alan Wakeman sax	Barry De Souza † drums

This was the David Essex Band for their 1975 tour, where they were supported by The Real Thing:

DAVID ESSEX BAND #?							1975
David Essex vocals	Jo Partridge guitar	Mark Griffiths guitar	Mike Thorn bass	Ken Freeman keyboards	Alan Wakeman sax	Dave White sax	Frank Ince percussion	Barry De Souza † drums

The double live album On tour must be from that tour (sorry, I don´t have it, so I can´t be sure). With all the musicians above plus The Real Things on vocals, and Jeff Wayne who was producing the album (and the tour).

---

SMITH & D´ABO

---

This was a duo formed by Mike D'Abo and Mike Smith. Mike D'Abo was a member of Manfred Mann. He also appears with Chris in the 'Jesus Christ Superstar' album, playing King Herod role. Mike Smith was the vocalist for 60s band Dave Clark Five.

They recorded a very interesting self-titled album, Smith & D'Abo, with great musicians: Ray Russell (guitar), Mo Foster (bass), Dave Markee (bass), Chris Mercer (sax), Jack Lancaster (sax), Malcolm Griffiths (trombone), Barry De Souza (drums), among others.

They also toured to promote the album, with these musicians:

SMITH & D´ABO #?			1976
Mike Smith † vocals	Mike D´Abo vocals	Ray Russell guitar	Mo Foster bass	Barry De Souza † drums

They finished touring in November 1976. After that, Smith and D'Abo went separate ways.

Great news! The album has finally been released on CD!!

---

ALEKSANDER JOHN BAND

---

This was the Aleksander John Band around August 1979:

ALEKSANDER JOHN BAND #?							1979
Aleksander John vocals, guitar	Ray Russell guitar	Bryn Haworth guitar	Dave Wintour bass	Mike Moran keyboards	Craig Pruess keyboards	Barry De Souza † drums	+	Echoes Of Joy backing vocals

There's a track appearing in a collective live album, Greenbelt live!, recorded at the Greenbelt Festival in Odell, Bedforshire, during August 1979. The track appearing is a live rendition of ´Bittersweet song´. Other artists and musicians appearing there: Bryn Haworth (with Alan 'Bam' King, Tex Comer), Giantkiller, Lamb, Cliff Richard (with Snowy White, Mike Moran, Graham Jarvis, Tony Rivers, Stu Calver, John Perry, Derek Beauchemin), Kainos, Garth Hewitt, Vatten, Randy Stonehill, and Larry Norman.

---

JON ANDERSON BAND

---

This is the amazing lineup for Jon Anderson´s New Life Band around 1980:

JON ANDERSON BAND #?							1980
Jon Anderson vocals	Chris Rainbow vocals	Les Davidson guitar	Jo Partridge guitar	John Giblin bass	Ronnie Leahy keyboards	Dick Morrissey † sax	Morris Pert † percussion	Barry De Souza † drums

---

AND THEN...

---

For some reason, Barry disappeared from album credits in the mid 80s. I tried to locate him via Internet since 1999, as some of his mates musicians asked me to do so. But no luck at all.

And now, the only additional info is very sad. Barry De Souza passed away in March 11th, 2009, after battling with cancer. He´ll always be remembered, no doubt.

• Goose grease - John Gustafson (1997)


• Members: John Gustafson
• Guests: B J Cole, Jeff Daly, Tony Hymas, Henry Lowther, Mike Moran, Ann Odell, Stretch, Mark Warner (RIP: Barry De Souza, Morris Pert)
• Comments: John Gustafson, apart from the singles he released in the sixties, only has a solo album, Goose grease. But the interesting story is that he recorded it in 1976, but remained unreleased until 1997, when it has been issued on CD, remastered by old fellow Ray Fenwick.
• My opinion: It's a very interesting album, quite funky. The performances are superb, especially Mark Warner (you just have to listen to him in the track 'Cheap Astrakhan', as well as the solos on 'Boogie woogie' or 'What's your game?'). B.J. Cole is also fantastic on 'Poem about a gnome' or 'Freshness'. As I've said, the album was recorded in 1976, at Ramport Studios, London. Thanks to splendid record label Angel Air, we've been lucky to be able to listen to it.
