Bakerloo Junction is a two man Irish folk group consisting of Michael Keery (Backing Vocals/Flute/Whistle) and Noel McMaster (Lead Vocals/Guitar). The final Bakerloo Junction consisted of Noel McMaster with Drew Rowan (Backing Vocals/Flute/Whistle) before McMaster passed in 2016. McMaster and Keery became involved in folk music in their early teens, playing around Northern Ireland in various groups before forming Bakerloo Junction in October 1974. Almost immediately, they tasted success, winning two major talent competitions in Northern Irleand. They have released two LPs, 'Next Stop' in 1976 and 'The Emigrant's Return' in 1978. In 1979, the band topped the Singles Chart in Northern Ireland with their hit 'My Lagan Softly Flowing', beating 'Town Called Malice' by The Jam and 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' by Tight Fit to the Number 1 spot. Following chart success, the band continued to tour Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, bringing their own brand of Irish Folk music to many hundreds of fans for the next 30 years.
