Barnes Rock organises live music events in South West London.

Featured Bands
The 60s Allstars
The 60s Allstars are four very experienced musicians who in their own right deserve recognition for what they have done throughout the years.
We also put on other great bands, always with musicians of great pedigree …. always music to dance to all evening!
In 2017, we continue our regular every 2nd Tuesday of the month with The 60s Allstars, usually at London Welsh RFC 187 Kew Road, Richmond or sometimes at Barnes RFC near The Wetlands Centre or The Home Guard Club in Richmond Park Road, Sheen.
On most fourth Tuesdays of each month, we put on other quality bands. In January and March 2017 we put on Steve Summers‘ The Cream of Hendrix and in February 2017, we put on Birdwood. On Good Friday (April 14th) we presented the Trembling Wilburys at London Welsh RFC where we also presented The Crawdaddies on Tuesday 25th April.
On Friday November 11th 2016 also at Old Deer Park we put on The Rollin’ Stoned the UK’s finest Rolling Stones tribute band and everyone danced non-stop! Earlier in 2016 (also on Good Friday), we put on The Trembling Wilburys at London Welsh RFC, Old Deer Park, 187 Kew Road, Richmond
In the winter, we stage events early on Sunday evenings (6pm to 9.15pm) usually with Robin Bibi, Del Mandel and Andrew Heart and guest singers.
