Announcement THE SAILORS REVENGE - AMERICAN RELEASE

 

The official American release date for Bap Kennedy's new album The Sailor’s Revenge is 5th June 2012. The Sailor’s Revenge is the outcome of a creative collaboration between Bap & Mark Knopfler. All songs on the album have been written by Bap. The album was recorded at Mark’s studio, with Mark playing guitar on 6 of the 11 tracks and also singing some backing vocals. It is rare for Mark to produce for another artist, but he has been closely involved with The Sailor’s Revenge from start to finish. Between Bap and Mark they carefully selected, from a large batch of new Bap songs, a collection that fitted the theme of the album.

The Sailor’s Revenge is being released by Proper America and features various members of Mark’s band as well as top drawer session musicians such as Jerry Douglas and Ian Thomas.

Bap's blog August 09

Bap's Blog August 09

Hello to whoever is reading this blog. And if you bought “Howl On” or are about to -  then thanks for putting your money where your ears are.
The reviews have been very good so far and in fact are probably the best I’ve had as far as I can remember. My first album “Energy Orchard” by the band of the same name came out in 1990 so I’m coming up to twenty years of doing this – making records and playing the songs in far flung places. I’m currently working on new material and rehearsing songs from the new CD . I’ll be out touring later this year and coming to a town near you! Watch this space for details....
August has arrived and the 40th anniversary of the moon landing has come and gone -  but hopefully “Howl On “ will keep a flame under the greatest show on earth. The last great optimistic act of the 20th century still resonates with me and I think with a lot of other people. In my mind Apollo was a great universal moment that united mankind and gave us a chance to look back at ourselves and our world. These are much more cynical times now and I can’t imagine something as far out and exciting (or expensive) as the race to the moon happening today, but then I’m not seven anymore. Of course I know now it really only happened because of the  Cold War - but I had no idea about that then. I thought we were going to the moon because we wanted to. And I wrote the “Howl On” songs all those years later because I wanted to tap into that feeling again.  I know in my heart that time has gone forever and that all things must pass  - but I will always look back with great fondness on the couple of days in 1969 when John Kennedy’s crazy challenge became a reality and a comic book came to life.

...Also I’m hoping Gary McKinnon gets off the hook and that we all wake up after a good dream.
Love and Peace
Bap Kennedy

Bap's First Blog

Welcome to my new website...And my first blog...Lots of changes in Bap world including getting married and settling down in the beautiful County Down with Brenda. As you can see Brenda has been busy writing books, recording her debut album ( produced by me..of course! ) and making art..not to mention getting on my case to get the guitar out and write some songs...and anybody out there waiting for another record from me might be interested to know I have something new in the can...release dates to be firmed up but it could be a couple of months due to the nature of the record...the following might give you an idea of what to expect.
 
 
I was a seven year old Belfast cowboy trying to stay awake for the first footsteps on the moon. When I woke up they were already on their way home. Thirty seven years later I decided to write some songs about it because of a book called Moon Dust, that I devoured by the light of a log fire DVD at the start of a strange lonesome year in London. The Apollo missions were suddenly fresh, wonderful, insane and large as life to me, a man now in his forties - slightly older than the crew of Apollo 11 were in 1969.
What had become of these men and what had they experienced? How could such a momentous event be reduced to an MTV logo? I was lonely and crazy for love and becoming obsessed by the whole saga. I bought every book and documentary I could find on the subject and immersed myself in the lives of the chosen few who went up there and didn’t care if they never came back.
I was in love with America as a child and when I finally got to New York in 1989 I wasn’t disappointed. I’d forgotten all about cowboy suits and spacemen by then, enthralled by the 24 hour bars beside Port Authority. Gradually America wore me down and I fell out of love with the best and worst of everything. But now maybe things are changing. I’m starting to feel that good times are ahead and inspiration is flowing again, not just in me but in the world. The feeling that anything is possible if we just put our minds to it.   We went to the moon didn’t we? All of us.
