Horslips ride again

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Tickets on sale NOW (ticketbaster)!

Roll on Cork boy!

[Shamrock Shore]

Feár

I'm thinking of mosh pit this time and help get the place sweating.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

The same as that SS, sure I'll give these oul knees one more bopping bash 

[Shamrock Shore]

I've been told by a Langer that the seating is a bit far back and he suggested standing.

Amazingly the standing tickets are €54.50 and the seating is €50.00

So, standing I am - ticket has been bought.

If Fear's knees (and/or back) are anything like mine then I better souce some cortisone before June. We can share with Guinness before and after.

[longrunsthefox]

I'm planning to go down for the weekend. Are there flights go from Derry to Cork? Strabane man, I could give you  a lift to the airport on the way thro!!

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Not unless you're going to Eglinton via Dublin fox 

Thanks anyway, but I'll be training it from da Capital on da Saturday.

Good man SS. Copious amounts of anaesthetic to be freely (self) administered before, during and after!

[Shamrock Shore]

We can share with Guinness before and after.

Actually, on mature reflection, will we be expected to drink the pish that is Murphys?

[Hardy]

As far as I remember Heineken sponsor the gigs in the Marquee. Heineken now brew both Beamish and Murphy's, so we could be in luck and have access to the King of Stouts.

[no mo do yakamo]

Itll be Guinness ,Bud, Or wine at the marquee if its the same as the last few years. Fiver a pint max 2 drinks per person at a time. Very organised and efficient bar system.

[Main Street]

Probably a bit too strong for a Horslips fan's delicate constitution, but you haven't tasted porter until you have tasted Saku

[anglocelt39]

Well chaps as sombody who moshed it at the point I can recommend the experience. Gammy back/ankles/knees were remarkably cured by trying to throw some shapes not seen since the Farmers Ballroom in Virginia circa 1977.

Enjoyed the point immesely on the basis that it was a one off after several years and I just ain't so sure about the Cork gig so I'll give it a miss. Have fun chaps. I waited 30 years for a reunion I'll wait a year or two more for a follow up, my risk

Some gems there boys and girls, but HTF did Freddie White snake in??
Never heard of The Douglas Gunn Ensemble.

Anyone else remember tractors that ran on TVO? We had one - pre roll-over bar days. Ah, the joy of a tractor with no roll-over bar doing 5 miles an hours and you, as a 10 year old, driving it!
