 Singer and Songwriter
Mary Barclay could be described as big, curvaceous even sexy(?) but most of all, she is a 'real' singer. She is a strong, yet sensitive vocalist with a modest and natural charm along with a wicked sense of self-deprecating humour!
As a song-writer and performer, Mary exposes her soul to the extreme and has her heart truly emblazoned on her sleeve. When you see and hear her, you're in no doubt she says it like it is. She rocks hard and fast then in the next breath, sensuously takes over your emotions.
Mary has the greatest respect for every genre of music. Her influences range from Ella Fitzgerald to Janis Joplin, from Joni Mitchell to Melissa Etheridge, from Annie Lennox to Brandi Carlile.

Guitar, Vocals
Doug Carroll is one of the most talented guitarists in the UK and beyond!
Having played guitar since he was a teenager, Doug is passionate about music and, as well as being a founder member of the Sensational Mary Barclay Band, he also teaches guitar.
Doug admires many musicians, particularly guitarists such as Mark Knopfler and Jeff Beck but his biggest influence is the late, great Rory Gallagher.
Doug has co-written the tracks on ‘Let It Fly Tonight’ but has also written music for film and television. More recently, he went to Nashville, USA to promote songs with writing partner, Colin Smart.

 Bass
Bass player, Kenny Urquhart, joined the Sensational Mary Barclay Band in 2003 and has been a strong member of the band ever since.
Kenny enjoys a wide variety of music and loves to watch live bands. He has also shown song-writing talent and the next CD is sure to include his work.

 Drums
To be called ‘Sensational’, someone in the band surely had to be a fan of the one and only ‘Sensational Alex Harvey Band’ – that was drummer and founder member, Scott Taylor who is truly the backbone of the group. Scott is an exceptional drummer with many years of experience.

 Keyboards
Owen Fielding is an extremely talented pianist and it's been a pleasure to have had him in the band. Owen played piano/keyboard on 'Let It Fly Tonight' and co-wrote 'Blackbird'. Hopefully, we'll work together again in the future.
