Bap 'Til You Drop
- 10 Aug 07, 09:17 AM
Tonight I’ll be joined on my radio show by Bap Kennedy, a singer and songwriter of this parish. I’ve known the fella since the days of Energy Orchard and he’s always had a fine taste in music and a good supply of one-liners. Some of the records he’s promising to bring in include Commander Cody, Billy Fury, Eddie Vedder and The Chi Lites, so the proceeds should be fascinating. And when he plays the Everly Brothers, will he mention his own interesting relationship with brother Brian?
In the second hour, I’ll be playing tribute to the late , author of ‘These Boots Are Made For Walking’, ‘Some Velvet Morning’ and many other wonderful tunes. Lee songs remind me of a trip to Gracelands in Memphis and the pervading smell of Seventies plastic. The artificiality is hard to escape, but the soul of man is deep within. And the man’s final album ‘Cake Or Death’ is a giant statement in itself, regarding death, life and Baghdad with a steely eye. Legend.
I’ve decided to do a series of co-presents during August. Next Friday is Paul Charles, major music agent in London, crime writer and son of Magherafelt. He’s talking about The Kinks, Mary Margaret O’ Hara and The Blue Nile, so we’re elected there. And on August 24, we’ll be invaded by Terri Hooley, punk legend and folk devil, who’s threatening to play Gene Vincent, Gregory Isaacs and The Ruts. How can this not be awesome?
I’m having a short break from my blog duties, but hang fire, and we’ll resume the discourse presently.
