Really sad news that Bap passed away today.
His tremendous musical talent had a profound effect on me in the late ’80s, and I have treasured his songs ever since.
His new album is due for release later this month on Lonely Street Records, and is available from his website.
A top man. His family deserve to be proud of him.
Sad news indeed…really liked Energy Orchard back in the day.
Sad to see that. I used to watch him regularly with the great James Walbourne on Sunday evenings at the Boogaloo, before the Boogaloo disappeared up it’s own arse. Always had a great evening. I shall listen to Hank Williams singing I Saw The Light before I go to bed in his honour.
Sad news indeed – much liked his work – both solo and with Energy Orchard.
Only came to him via the solo stuff and loved it- especially the one he did with steve Earle.
glad he and Brian reconciled before the end.
Bugger.
Bugger.
Energy Orchard were the first pro band I did the tech for in my fresher week at uni. Bap was a lovely bloke.
Later on I got to know Brian, too – a talented family.
