THEESE GUYS WOULD SUERLY BE WELCOME IN BOTANY BAY!!!!!!!!! AND POOR OUL PAT WOULD SURELY LEND A HAND WITH A SHOVEL ON HIS BACK, WHAT EVER ABOUT THE PAPER WORK, IF IT MAKES THE JOB EASIER OR WORTH WHILE, IT'S DONE ASWELL!!!!!!!!
Amazing: I became a fan of Horslips back around 1976 when I was given a bootleg duplicate of THE TAIN on cassette. I eventually bought several records, including Book of Invasions. Always loved them. I, an American living in Louisiana. And I do have some Irish blood.
I now know Charles O'Connor and I had no idea until I met him that he's from Middlesborough. I saw them many times in the 70s and always assumed he was Irish. He kept his Englishness very quiet in the 70s as the English were not welcome in some parts of Ireland.
If you haven't heard Rollback, it's remarkable - 15 of their songs completely reworked acoustically and most work brilliantly.
what are you on about? that the english werent welcome in Ireland. sure half of Ireland were in London at the time! whatever problems that happened in Ireland during the troubles certainly didnt effect people with English accents in the Republic!
theres no chance he was afraid of his well being in the Republic. there is no accounts or sources to justify that. as i said already, man Irish were coming back fron London with English accents.
millions of euros are being wasted on no good,fancy dan posh boy pop stars these days.throw these guys a few euros and bring back some good music again,rock n roll baby

Their reach goes beyond Ireland. I was 10 in 1975 living in Croydon(!) when I heard The Tain and It changed my life.

Horslips defined an Irish generation. Saw them in Drogheda and Belfast in the last couple of weeks. Superb!

Absolutely fantastic to see the guys get together. We loved them here in Windsor, Ontario in the late seventies. Thanks for the post.

I saw them many times in the seventies and had NO idea - until now - that Charlie O Connor was English.

Charles O'Connor is the coolest non-Irish Irish mofo ever!

Indeed. O'Conner is definitely a true modern hero.

What cool lads! Somebody should give this band a few million euros and a state of the art studio.
