Juice History

History of the band

	Juice originated in the 70s as Juice of Barley when Jenny and Gil Kilbride started their Ceilidh band. At the time their boys Danny, Bernard and Gerard (see the Kilbride Brothers web site) were playing punk music for no fee The idea of playing for money, even folk music, seemed very attractive and slowly but surely the boys were hooked, bringing with them their electric bass player (Dean) and forcing him to play the upright bass.
	Youthful beauty took over from age when the parents retired and with various additions (and subtractions!) the band has created its own pathway through the wasteland of musical fashions. Juice have played in Europe, the USA and all over Britain, on radio and TV to a variety of audiences but have always remained committed to dances. After all, that's what it's a ll about, isn't it?
