Irishman Bap Kennedy hits Australia for the first time
The debut Australian tour for Irishman Bap Kennedy and homecoming tour for Grand Drive’s front man Danny George Wilson has been announced with shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

The man he met was Steve Earle, who unsteadied by his meeting with Bap declared that night “Someday skinny, you’re coming to Nashville to make a country rekkid and I'm gonna perduce it”.
Bap’s latest offering ‘The Big Picture’ is a seamless blend of Celtic Soul and Southern Roots and not without a cast of notaries, including the great Van Morrison and Shane McGowan.
Danny George Wilson, originally from Queensland and now living in South London, Danny plays deep Americana.
