BP is legend, been around for donkeys years, last time I seen him he seemed to be getting smaller in size, but his forehead getting bigger.
 From his wiki...

 The line up is for one of the smaller stages, but some good up and coming bands in there. Full line up, not a bad one http://electricpicnic.ie/lineup 
 Phelim Drew, is one of those jack of all trades, he is an actor and son of the one and only Ronnie Drew.

 Been away for a few weeks and seems the world has kept on turning while I was away, bummer the Joke will not play the EP, was to be highlight of year for me, but not to worry, still going and will in all likelihoods still have a blast.

 Sorry to hear your news Alex.
