JD and the C had a string of number 1s in the late nineties but faded into obscurity due to the members forgetting they were in a band. Their last appearance was at Fistinvarna 2001 where they mesmerised the crowd with a blistering 5 hour set after which the drummer Hamhead died. At a press conference the following week Hamhead announced the band would no longer be recording or touring. Their fate was then sealed when lead singer Lofty was crippled from the neck down following a horrific cycling accident in Wexford (left).

This is the latest in a long list of revivals within BN Crew that began with the reformation of the Wild Geese, the Leo Crowley Players and Gapford's repeated attempts to reform his beloved MeatBeat.
