Assorted Bandmates, and Reviews
Bap's own website.
Bap's mate and previous co-performer. He's now with the Quireboys, based in London, and they play some incredible, seriously-rockin'
R & R! In addition to the link above (Keith Weir - The Quireboys), Keith also has his own MySpace site located at Keith Weir on MySpace.
Three other
members of the band also have their own MySpace pages: Guy Griffin, Paul Guerin, and Phil Martini. The band play some of the most
awesome rock'n'roll on the planet! If you haven't already checked them out ... do it now, you won't be disappointed!
Eilidh, who has has opened for Bap, has the voice of an angel and a very gentle spirit –
she has a beautiful CD out and another in the works. Consult her website site for details.
Bap's friend and former Energy Orchard bandmate. Spade now has his own band, Spade Mcquade and the Allstars,
and has recorded two albums with them. He has lived in the U.S. for several years and resides in Miami, Florida.
These Irish lads frequently appear in venues in Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, and other points north, south, east, and west. These amazing musical talents are also extremely personable young men, and if you get the opportunity to see them perform anywhere, do yourself a favour and don’t miss it! In the meantime, you can enjoy hearing their brilliant music on their website – and several of their songs are available to download for free on their MySpace Music Player!
Their name says it all – They have really excellent taste in Irish Singer-Songwriters! And
they're fine people to work with. Check it out.

Brilliant reviews by the lovely Sue Cavendish.
Bap's mate and producer (with Ray Kennedy) of Bap's first solo album, Domestic Blues.
This is an excellent Steve Earle site ("The Original Un-official Steve Earle Site"), which is probably
one of the most complete and comprehensive websites I think I've ever encountered. The webmaster (Clint)
loves Bap's music, lists a wealth of information about Steve; and is very
knowlegable and extremely helpful.
The official Steve Earle website.
An annual festival of country music which delivers the best of Country music - from the classics to alternative and
new artists. Bap had a huge welcome at the 2007 festival January 25, and he has a standing invitation to return again.
Great show, great roots music. I find myself listening frequently on Saturday afternoons.
Most importantly, Ralph loves and plays Bap's Music among other stars. Tune in.
Incredible site. Information about some of the best music and musicians ever on the planet.
Lyrics and chords to some of Bap's songs, as well as many other incredible artists – Steve Earle,
Townes VanZandt – a multitude of the others, and great links to some really outstanding sites.
Another excellent article about the 'The Big Picture' by Steve Stockman, a very nice person!
James mate and co-performer. James plays a blistering guitar, among several other instruments! He accompanied Bap for several years – he's now formed his own band with his brother Rob Walbourne and Peter Noone. Check him out, you won't
disappointed!!
