What the problem is sounds like is currant blister aphid, remove all affected leaves and burn don't compost, also remove leaves that have fallen from the bushes, a winter tar oil wash is recommended.
sorry not to get straight back only just worked out how to put a photo on here,looks like you are right Cornelly,i have got some blackcurrants next to them and they are allright ,thanks ,
I got one of them garden burners a few weeks ok from Aldis,only we can not have open fires no more ,so i will strip them all off and bag them up till back end then test it out ,only i put the red currants in the pan when i make some black currant jam so i dont wont to lose the bush,
