We had a Horslips party in Rathmines last Sat night to 'celebrate' the 30th anniversary of their last studio album (phase one) called 'Short Stories Tall Tales'. We got all of the original 5 plus one Paddy Goodwin up on stage to do Trouble and Dearg Doom.

Roll on the O2 - I'll be in Belfast and Dublin. I'd go to Mars to see them as I missed the boat first time around (too young).

Send me a pm if any one of ye boys are heading and we could have a pint or two.

Enjoy yourselves and mind those zimmer frames.

It will be the band that will be exposed to zimmer frame issues being fecked onto the stage as soon as the 'tit-tit-ta-ta-tit-tit-ta-ta' high hats signal the start of 'Dearg Doom'.

However most old time fans were teenagers in the 70s - so on average, the absolute average eldest Horslips fan would be now mid 50s. Not really zimmer frame stuff.

Looks like we're building up the frenzy nicely for December. Anyone else (other than SS, fox and myself) going?

Is there the makings of a Gadderin??

Heading to this in December too (O2), and won't even have to dust off the false moustache to get a drink this time

I do believe Hardyarse the Fiddler is heading to the Dublin gig.

Only tickets available for Belfast on Ticketmaster are in West Upper Tier & I don't remember ever paying £83 for a pair of pretty crap tickets to go & see Horslips back in the good old days !

Heading to the Belfast gig. From the Butt to Belfast its been some journey with a bit of luck I'll make Dublin as well.

Hardstation.

No - that ad was a bad mistake in some ways. Made Sinnott leave (there ya go) and also was dubbed by some English posh boy singing. But then the cash was handy and bought some vital stuff to make their successful first album, 'Happy to meet, sorry to part'.

I know a fellow, who worked for a client, who was in the crowd for the shoot.

Then we had SammyG in on the cover of The Belfast Gigs!
