Martin ‘Bap’ Kennedy (1962-2016)

I’ve just learned of the passing of my friend Bap Kennedy in Belfast. It’s been a number of years since I last saw him, and in fact I didnt even know he was ill, such as the speed of the years that have rolled by…but we played a number of acoustic shows together around a decade ago, mostly in Scotland, and he left a marked impression on me…we kept in touch quite regularly for a time and then things got particularly hectic for us both…andwe lost touch…as is life…but I’ll always remember his spirit and that wonderful voice…his song Moriartys Blues is in my all time top 10…just beautiful…
An amazing talent and a very serene and charismatic man…
Rest in Peace my friend
