Horslips ride again

[Billys Boots]

No cigar drici, try again! 

[Shamrock Shore]

I actually travelled from Dublin with the lad Drici highlighted. He was one of the fellows who organised the original exhibition of memorabilia in Derry in 2004 that got the band back together on stage for the first time in 24 years.

Great stuff at the Fairport Convention Cropedy Festival last weekend.

On Sat Horslips played a blinder and had the crowd going mental - unusual for a folk hippy festival.



If you look closely Shamrock Shore can be seen on the big screen. The signing session afterwards was the longest in Cropedy history as the lads took 2 hours signing tshirts, albums, cds, pictures, posters and even a lady's lovely bottom. And yes, they all had lovely bottoms.

Cropedy was some place. 20,000 people, all chilled out, most sitting in chairs, drinking wine, beer, cider. Lots of children, dogs, drag queens, etc and not one hint of aggro or menace. A perfect venue for the auld lads on the board, like myself.

Are you wearing a cap or a hat SS ? Beginning to sound like i'm playing a game of guess who with my Kids .

[Shamrock Shore]

Neither. I wear glasses and have been going grey since I was 19. Look for the obvious accountants!

Were you at this Hardy?

[Hardy]

You know what they say - "if you can remember the seventies ..."

No, though, I wasn't at that one. It's great stuff - missed this when it was on d'telly.

[Dougal Maguire]

As far as I'm concerned the best Horslips album is Live at the O2  BTW does anyone out there have a live version of 'Letters from Home'

[Shamrock Shore]

Dougal

Never heard a live version of that. Would imagine it never made it to the stage. Only the drummer would know as the rest of the band don't know what day of the week it is.

I see Barry Devlin is involved in the film based on the Tain. Hopefully he doesn't let them make a balix of it.

Jaysus folks, just googled "Dearg Doom" and translation.

Is it really "Red Doom" in English?, need it for a class in  about 6 hours.

Tanks

[Shamrock Shore]

Yes.

Eamon Carr was joining Dr. Doom from The Marvel Comics and Dearg from the bloodied red hand of Ulster. So Cuchulainn (spelling apologies) was Dearg Doom.

Here is a clip that might be of use:
