Sadly Jeff Bourke from Urlingford Co. Kilkenny passed away in November 2006,many will remember Jeff playing with Tweed and Kenny Ryder, he was surely one of the all time greats with the sticks! the only one apart from Cozy Powell who could do justice to Dance  With the Devil ,he was a great character and gave much to the business.

Definitely agree with you on that. Many's the times we just stood in awe at this professional at work on those drums. His rendition of Dance With The Devil was fantastic. R.I.P.

so sorry to hear of Jeff Bourke's death. We were pals when I played with Roly Daniels in 1973. We met at Piltown carnival when we had a chat about music after a gig we did there. He was a fantastic drummer and a real nice fella. I went to see Tweed any time they came to Dublin if I was not working myself.
may he rest in peace.
