It looks like a blackcurrant with a bad case of big bud disease

The buds remind me of a young cherry tree. Its tough to tell when its not in leaf yet.

Definitely a currant and I think big bud mite.

To photo in this link seems too similar for it not to be.

Brush against this shrub and see if it has a strong 'curranty' smell.  If it does it is a black currant and it is infected with big bud mite.  Pick off all the round swollen buds and see if the plant crops this year.  If it does not, it also has a virus and must go.
