A long, long way... The Bush have travelled a long way in both time and space...
Members have come and gone, sax and flute man Michel Bonamy now lives in Sweden, while Mary Custy came and saw and was conquered, and has stayed on board with her silvery fiddling. Gerry
Molloy sings and plays guitar as he always has right from the start, with Andy Palfreyman on drums right there behind him all the way. Joe Keane pumps in the muscle on bass.
From their homebase in the town of Ennis, the Bush have reached out over the past 15 years to play all corners of Ireland, spreading their wings on occasion to such far-flung places as Brittany,
Switzerland and The Canary Isles. Bushplant have appeared recently at the wonderful Hawkfest, the Hawkwind festival, in Devon, UK, and will appear next summer at Solfest 2009!
On the airwaves Bushplant have been heard live on RTE 2FM, Channel 4 Francais, Brittany Radio, live on Clare FM, Today FM, Limerick FM, Galway
Bay FM, Kerry Radio, numerous stations in the USA, Len Holton's
