Horslips ride again

[Main Street]

You never know what freak event can happen to an oldies band member.
I heard (in the distant background) on the news that a drummer with an oldies band (ELO or Supertramp?) got himself killed by a marauding bale of hay yesterday. Rolled down the hill and hit his car with fatal consequences.

[Shamrock Shore]

Yes - some lads ex-ELO got squashed by a bale of hay.

Rock and roll, baby.

Announcement on Tubridy on 2FM radio this morning on Christmas gigs.

Triggs RIP

[Shamrock Shore]

OK. Here's the heads up:

Horslips will play:

27 November INEC, Killarney;
28 November Royal Theatre, Castlebar;
01 December Waterfront, Belfast
04 December The O2, Dublin

Fiirst time I ever listened to Turbidy in my life. I hope to make at least two of those! Thanks for the updates Shamrock Shore

Good man SS! 

[Sandino]

Same suspects on this thread

[Billys Boots]

Sure the boys are green!

[Shamrock Shore]

My only dilemma is can I make all 4 and, if not, which one do I miss?

Where is Castlebar inanyways?

[anglocelt39]

Yes - some lads ex-ELO got squashed by a bale of hay.

Rock and roll, baby.

Not quite up there with Keith Richards' dice with death a few years past when he fell out of a Coconut Tree.

Good news about the gigs but you start to wonder if this is going to take on the shape of the last ever (honest) annual Shane MacGowan/Popes/Pogues Xmas eve gig in some Dublin venue.

[Main Street]

Horslips are back on the saddle.

[Shamrock Shore]

I may have some more. non gig related, news soon.

Great news altogether. Unfortunately Illl be out of the country for the O2 Gig but I'll be in Belfast and possibly Killarney. Is Ray Fean drumming again?  Just to get you all in the mood :

[Shamrock Shore]

Yes Dougal! Ray is on the drums again! Eamon will continue to be part of the publicity but won't play live!

Thanks for the link! 'Sword of Light' is pure filth and should be banned cos it's all about riding!

[Dougal Maguire]

Word has it that Jennifer Thompson listened to Ride to Hell as she did it with Wayne Rooney
