Barry Morgan

Corporate Entertainer

Barry Morgan is the celebrity organ salesman who woos audiences with the golden syrup sounds of his vintage 1980s, Hammond Aurora Classic.

An experienced, versatile and once-seen, never- forgotten corporate performer, Barry is an exceptional MC and a talented on the spot performer who combines his musical talents with mischievous humour to entertain his audiences. His Barry Morgan Musical Quizical Experience is a retro night that can be delivered in several different formats and it’s ideal for galas, team building events, conferences and large scale fundraisers.

More about Barry Morgan:

Played to perfection by musician and performer Stephen Teakle, retro groover Barry Morgan was plucked from obscurity to perform on ABC’s Spicks and Specks where he became an instant audience favourite.

He was voted the third best Spicks and Specks moment in 2011 and trended #2 on Twitter after his Spicks and Specks Finale appearance. Barry has also graced our screens on Gordon Street Tonight, The Marngrook Footy Show and on ABC’s New Years Eve Pub Quiz.

All polyester safari suit and blow-waved hair, Barry has been described as “Bob Downe and Liberace’s love child”.

Barry has sold out live shows at Melbourne Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth Fringe and the famous Spiegeltent and performed to adoring young crowds at Homebake and Falls Festival. In 2012, he travelled overseas to demonstrate his organ at the NZ Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe.

A career highlight was touring with international superstar Gotye, and the release of his own album The Touch of You (2012), which demonstrated that he is not just one of Australia’s most entertaining performers, but one of its most accomplished musicians.

When Barry’s not in his World of Organs Superstore in the Sunnyside Mall, in the beautiful city of Churches, Adelaide, you can find him touting the joy of the organ to audiences far and wide. Barry’s enthusiastic manner, contagious smile and musical skill all help convey his deep love of organs.

With enough cheese to match his infectious smile, the organ’s various sounds and features are exploited by Barry to achieve velvet tones, luscious lounge, exotic tangos, and grooves ‘as modern as tomorrow’. Barry’s hilarious performance creates an utterly charming visual and aural experience that cannot be resisted.

An experienced, versatile and once-seen, never- forgotten corporate performer, Barry Morgan can:

  • MC your event
  • Perform a spot

  • Get the audience involved
