I’m a stubbornly independent progressive folk musician whose songs focus on social and political injustice, concern for our environment, family, love and life…because I’m actually a human being.

I hate the shit that's happening in this world, and I do my bit to try and stem the flow.

Peace Lives.

The original name for The Compendium was "John Reed's Progressive & Acoustic Compendium" but I got tired of the typing 😎

An album deliberately titled both to highlight the threat of AI to music and, for many of us, the futility of trying to make any kind of living out of our craft. It extends way beyond music, with copying, cheap imitations and shit.

Inheritance is an album about ancestry, family, me, and love. The stories in the song range from 1807 and the sacking of Montevideo to 2019 when the album was released. Give it a spin.

Compendium 240 is now available at www.mixcloud.com/JohnReedBrea...
Being a 'tenth' show, it has a more acoustic vibe.

Compendium #240 3rd December 2025
Compendium 240 is a 'tenth' show, therefore it has a mainly acoustic vibe, with some rattling good songs from both sides of the pond. Next week's show is mainly not an acoustic vibe. Enjoy the show! ...

Music has been my life. I've created it, promoted it, and supported other artists by playing some of their songs on The Compendium (8pm UK Weds on www.folkfridayradio.com). There's more great music out there than I'll ever buy. No harm trying. #BandcampFriday 😎

For lovers of folk music, if you do nothing else this #BandcampFriday pick up a copy of Dick Gaughan Live at the BBC 1972-1979. It's stunning.

It’s #bandcampfriday, I have a new single available to preorder, and I’m sharing a wee taste of this outrageously good Looper video created by the magical Marry Waterson to celebrate its release ❄️

You can preorder via Linktree in bio or via shirleybarrmusic.com

Many people talk the talk.

But who walks the walk?

Is #protest against dehumanising AI, authoritarian creep, the injustuce and lies of politics, or the hate of bigotry really all we deserve?

This group of artists still have a voice. And it can't be muted.

This #bandcampfriday support us.
