The Classic Horslips playing King of the Fairies on the top of the Bank of Ireland on Baggot Street, Dublin in 1973. Click the HQ and then full screen for the best view!
Horslips have been and will always be a fantastic band ........And to get such a great sound on top of a bank ....Unplugged ?....I suppose it's not wise to be standing in a puddle when plugged in !...............Great Band........Cheesy Video.
maybe because they were far too rock for the folkfans and too folky for the rockers.
i saw them in 1977, when i was 15 at an irish boy scout festival and was disappointed. i was heavy in folk at this time and (as a german) knew most of the irish, british and english folkszene.
for me they looked as, sorry, pimps and their music was far too straight for me. i tried it again 20 years later or so, but i fear we won´t become friends.
Great video but does anyone else think that Barry looks like one of the Wolfe Tones in this video?

The head stock on Barry's bass is massive
