The movies and music were in John Barry's blood. He spent his early years working in cinemas in the north of England, owned by his father. Barry's mother was a talented pianist who had abandoned her dream to be a concert artist.

He began performing during his National Service in Cyprus, having learned to play the trumpet. a b c Balio, Tino (1987). United Artists: The Company That Changed the Film Industry.
