1991 - 1999

OVERVIEW Juniper were a relatively successful young Irish 5-piece who played electrifying gigs (between 1995 and 1999) which were always packed to the rafters. They signed to Polygram for a potential 6-album deal and managed to release two reasonably-well received singles, the most notable being ‘Weatherman’ Deep down Juniper were not happy berries and after the second single was released, Rice decided to jump ship. “I certainly don’t regret leaving the band." "I would look back on things I did and say ‘I wouldn’t do that again’ but if I hadn’t have done it, I wouldn’t have learned that I didn’t like doing it. I just wanted to be free and when I was signed to the record company I wasn’t free”. 1991 - Band formed 1995 - Release of 'Manna' E.P. 1998 - Release of 'Weatherman' single 1999 - Release of 'World Is Dead' single - Band split
