Barcode
was on our possible company names list from which we selected Third Angel - and comes from the same source. Mike Leigh’s film Naked quotes various prophecies of the apocalypse - one of which suggests that we will one day all have barcode tattooed onto our hands or faces, without which will be able to neither buy nor sell.


There's lots more information about making and touring Third Angel projects 2008-2017 on our original blog, and 2017-2023 on the blog on this site.
