She was a cypher, already difficult to know when she became humongous in 2006. As the years went by, what we saw became more and more tacky: wandering half-naked down the London streets, strung-out and incoherent, her bad implants popping out of her skimpy dresses.

Barbarah started coming to AK back in the days of Sidecar and has never missed a show unless she was ill or out of town. She is one of those people who lives and breathes to perform.
Whenever I see people like Barbarah onstage, it reminds me of an important moment in my life:

We’re in a plaza in Cádiz on a warm, sunny day. I, along with a sizeable crowd of people, am admiring the old man and his parrot.
