Horslips ride again

T Fearon · November 05, 2016, 04:03:55 PM

Is it not appropriate to mention one's attendance at an all too rare Horslips gig,on a Horslip's thread?

Also as you went to the bother of checking the Tir Na Nog guest list to see if my name was on it a few weeks ago,you seem to have a very unhealthy interest in my affairs.

Were you at the invitation only gig in Drogheda prior to the comeback gigs?

T Fearon · November 05, 2016, 05:17:30 PM

No.Why would I have been? I'm just an ordinary fan

Dougal Maguire · November 05, 2016, 05:45:19 PM

By the way at Tir na nOg I happened to ask a guy if he knew you. That wing nut, was his reply. So he's not here then? No way

As I say you seem to have a very unhealthy interest in my affairs.In fact I am locking up all my bunnies

If anyone is watching The Fir Bolg on TG4 of a Thursday night the similarities to the Horslips story is uncanny.

I suppose it was easier to base it on Horslips, it saves having to get actors that can sing.

I was hesitant to bring back up my thread for this.

Plenty of coverage Dine Site on this furore.

Barry Devlin was quite annoyed. But I would say 60% of his outrage was real and 40% was divvilmint.

Irexiters - now there's a crowd that would give you a dose of the skitters.

They were pretty adamant on their FB page

Can't imagine there is legal recourse for using the material without permission?

It's hardly worth their while taking a case. Besides it would give oxygen to these gowls.

I never heard of this Irexit spokesperson Hermann Kenny before - any Derry boys know him?
