Irish songwriter Barry J Walsh releases blistering, harmony drenched, summer single

Music Review | 30th May, 2025 Barry J Walsh Barry J Walsh

Drenched in 60's tones and melodies, Irish singer songwriter, Barry J Walsh, has been crafting music as a solo artist that takes the listener on a musical journey to the past with Beach Boy style arrangements, jangle guitars and a powerpop feel.

The latest single, Suddenly June, is a blistering feel-good track that sees Walsh blend acoustic guitar and crunchy riffs under a wall of harmonies, all supported by a four to the floor thumping beat.

Suddenly June is a count your blessings song, and that blessing is often right under your nose - sometimes I forget that you are there, even though without you I'm nowhere - Barry J Walsh

Once again recorded at his son Oisin's studio, with the Spearside frontman at the controls and providing drums and various instrumentation, Suddenly June will be released on Barry's own Rufus Records label.
