Musician / electronics

Barber was the lead guitarist in Liverpool's quartet "Cass and the Casanovas" (led by Brian "Cass" Casser) and its subsequent Big Three.[3][4] Also an electronic wizard, he was responsible for upgrading the group amps (called "coffins") but also upgrading other Liverpudlians gears. This included Paul McCartney's quad amp.[5][6] He left the Big Three in mid-1962, when the band planned to be a quartet.

Sound stage manager

In 1962, due to his knowledge in the electronic field, Barber was hired by Horst Fascher to improve the Star-Club's Sound system. In late December 1962, he recorded bands performing and some of his tapes were released as Live! at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany; 1962.

Producer / sound engineer

In the late 1960s, Barber became a recording engineer/producer for Atlantic Records, for instance on
