Bap Kennedy (17 Jun 1962 - 1 Nov 2016)31/10/2018 Bap's anniversary today & the Love Hurts EP - Thank you!I had a feeling early on about Love Hurts, that it was going to be no ordinary EP! It's been quite a journey putting it together and getting it out there, but I'm really glad now that I did it.
Bap’s music will never die, and it will always speak for itself. But the Love Hurts EP has allowed me to share more about the man behind the music, and that's been a joy and a privilege. For me it’s lovely to stay in touch with people from all round the world who have appreciated and supported Bap’s music over the years. So many have talked about how moved and enlightened they have been by Love Hurts - especially by the spoken tracks. And of course the EP is doing a great job in raising funds for Marie Curie! I'd like to say a big thanks to every single person who has got involved with Love Hurts - either by helping to get the word out, ordering the EP, donating to Marie Curie, or helping in any way at all. And don't forget you can still donate to Marie Curie. Every donation however small is appreciated. Thanks for remembering Bap & his music - Keep on listening & sharing the magic!

Listen again (from 1h 23) Anniversary EP - LOVE HURTS1/10/2018 Today would have been Bap’s & my 10th wedding anniversary, and I wanted to come up with a special way to mark the date. Recently among some studio archives I came across an old (2009) recording that I'd forgotten all about. It was Bap and me singing Love Hurts together. When I heard the song again after so long it brought back some very precious memories, so I’m putting out a Special Edition EP featuring Love Hurts. This is my way of helping people remember Bap and his music - but the EP is about more than music. It’s also about who Bap really was, the man behind the music, both in his own words (spoken) and from my personal tribute. Thanks everyone for your support. Love Brenda x |
