Barney is receiving airplay from Xstreamest Asian Radio.DJ Simi Automatic played 'My Heart Would Cry' on her show, 'Edukasian' which is broadcast at 8-10pm on Thursday evenings. 'My Heart Would Cry' features the brilliant Indian vocal talents of Jaz, who adds a real asian flavour to this beautiful and heartfelt song.You can listen to the clip below and hear what DJ Simi had to say about Barney and his music.The only error for those eagle eared listeners is that she says that Barney produced the album...... of course it was not him but Sheldon Conrich.

Xstreamest Clip

"His album is sooo beautiful, he is a multi-talented, beautiful looking guy.Barney Ashworth, trust me ... you are going to be going very very far ... trust me ... this boy is beautiful....."
...
"Intelligent musings from singer/writer Barney who uses his experiences as a youthful music student and time as member of The Life Guards to considerable effect over 12 cuts of mainstream rock.Extremely well engineered with pro-level pacing, potential immediately leaps from the speakers.Already warmly praised ("Like listening to a cup of chocolate," says Universal Music) there'll be ops online for Barney if he maintains the standard of Take a Chance With Me with its inventive soloing and melodious topline."
