    yeah they are now bellx1, tyhe singer left, and then the drummer moved to be front man, and they got a new drummer. they are quite good now, ive seen em twice live, album wud be worth a purchase if u have the cash spare.
    as for live recordings, good luck with that, it wont be easy to track that down, if they do in fact exist.

    I used to love Juniper.

    I saw them live a couple of times, most memorable one being the Heineken Festival a few summers ago with Kula Shaker and Junkster - I'd say there must be a live recording of that somewhere. The new lead singer (old drummer) is Paul Noonan. He's from Lucan and I know his sister, might be able to find out some stuff there for you. Since Dodi left, I kind of lost interest, but no doubt BellX1 are super, with most of the old band still there. (crap name tho)

    Dodi Ma (I thought it was Dodi Man?) has now joined up with two incredibly talented Italian (hang on - maybe they are Spanish, I forget) guitarists (a guy and a girl) but I haven't heard any of their work. This pair used to busk a lot on Grafton Street - very goodlooking people and extremely skilled.

    Yup, I was at that concert (class gig) and there was a quick yoke on No Disco about it (in which the camera passed by my good self + friends with Juniper playing in the BG), I'm sure someone somewhere has a recording of it.

    Maybe ask in Rythym Records on the Quay (Dublin), they might have it on tape up near the counter, theyve hundreds of recording. If they dont have it ask them and theyre usually willing to try and get stuff in fer ye.
