In the late 1960s he co-founded Tara Telephone, the music and poetry group of the Dublin beat scene.Tara Telephone published everyone from Marc Bolan to Allan Ginsberg, Brian Patten, Seamus Heaney, Pearse Hutchinson, Eilean Ni Chuilleanain, Brendan Kennelly, Adrian Mitchell, Pete Brown in their magazines and broadsheets. The group also ran recitals. Among those who read with Tara Telephone, in addition to Eamon and Peter Fallon were Phil Lynott and Roger McGough. With Jim Fitzpatrick, the group also produced specially designed posters with artwork and poems combined. One of these posters with Eamon's poem 'A Tale of Love' was exhibited in the Tate Gallery, Liverpool, Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era Exhibition in 2005 which also toured in Germany and Austria.</blockquote><br /><br />For more on this poetry series, <a href="http://www.limerick.com/whitehousepoets/">visit the Limerick.com site</a>.Miss Templetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180851775819540758noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930856956028546976.post-55581979077584762422008-01-01T12:06:00.000-08:002008-11-27T12:13:10.346-08:00FanTasia Launch on Official Horslips<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://comebackhorslips.com/advertisments/fantasia3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 258px; height: 401px;" src="http://comebackhorslips.com/advertisments/fantasia3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Miss Templetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180851775819540758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930856956028546976.post-12473509368999553422007-11-08T16:55:00.000-08:002008-12-10T13:39:06.420-08:00Promoting the Next Gig: The Indulgers and Johnny Fean at the Barge Rooms, Lifford, EnnisTOMORROW NIGHT Colorado's own Celtic Roots-Rock band <a href="http://www.shamrocker.com/">THE INDULGERS & THE ONE AND ONLY JOHNNY FEAN</a><br /><br />Here at the <a href="http://www.thebargerooms.ie/home.html">The Barge Rooms</a><br /><br /><center><b>FLASHBACK to ST PATRICK'S DAY 2007:<br />DOWNTOWN DENVER</b><br /><img src="http://www.comebackhorslips.com/photos/fean/indulgers-horslipssm.jpg"><br />Damien McCarron of the Indulgers presents framed photo of Johnny Fean to <a href="http://www.fadoirishpub.com/denver/">Fado Irish Pub</a>, where it now hangs on the Irish Rock Wall of Fame.

This young band are set to raise the roof of the Arts Centre with their extensive repertoire of 40 songs which spans the entire Horslips catalogue.<br /><br />Back in 2004 organ player Michael Rafferty formed the idea of bringing together a group of musicians for one performance in tribute to the band. As the idea began to gather realistic potential, Ryan O'Sullivan was approached and soon recruited as the group's guitar player. As word spread about the possibility of a tribute band forming, it became apparent that a number of other musicians, who cited Horslips as a main influence, were interested. </blockquote><br /><br

Pat’s brother Denis is a well-regarded actor, while his mother is the staple of many a community choir in Cork. Pat himself is that rare species - someone who doesn’t have a note in his head – and fully accepts it!<br /><br />The enthusiasm has always been there though. “I was always interested in different or original music growing up, but there wasn’t that much choice in Ireland in the 60’s. I would go to see The Horslips or Rory Gallagher or The Bothy Band, whereas other people would go to see show bands.<br /><br />I think The Horslip’s shows stuck with me. You could see them playing in dancehalls where there might have been Big Tom one night and then The Horslips the next, which was a bit weird”.<br /><br />When it came to acquiring the Lobby premises, Pat applied his individualism and uncompromising attitude to the bar’s music policy, insisting also on treating musicians with respect and equity.<br /><br />“We set out day one to make it different to walking into a session in a bar. We made it quite clear that it was a listening venue, and so if people were talking during a gig we would have asked them to leave and we stuck to that policy from day one. I think it paid off because at the end of the day people who were coming into the shows were coming in to listen....”</blockquote><br /><br />Even I have been to the Lobby. More at the link.

About ten minutes later, a friend at Hairless Heart Herald sent me a note alerting me that I'd been 'phished' and that someone was posting Gift Card spam bulletins and comments in my name. John Murphy of Shite'n'Onions was next to call in and then Gerry from Bushplant (a contributing artist to the CBH site.)<br /><br />A swift change of password and a basic bulletin of apology. There were several friends who wrote in saying 'thanks' for that and adding that they rather guessed it wasn't the real me promising to 'hook them up' or signing off with 'c ya.' Also in my favor is that I only posted on this account when I had Horslips news.<br /><br />Forty minutes later, the fuss was mainly over. Things move fast on the Internet.<br /><br />But to make further amends, I decided to send around a little vintage advertising that's available again on You Tube. Horslips promoting Mirinda, circa early seventies or so. Looking very much like the music festival it was, this free event was filmed at the grounds of Ardmore Studios in Bray (just south of Dublin). Also present, but not pitching Mirinda, was a support act by the name of Chris De Burgh.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nrzLLcOUG-4"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nrzLLcOUG-4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />For more about Phishing, visit the <a href="http://www.antiphishing.org/">Anti-Phishing Working Group</a>.Miss Templetonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01180851775819540758noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2930856956028546976.post-48477544124312334562007-07-15T15:44:00.000-07:002008-12-10T13:39:06.422-08:00Dearg Doom covered by new metal bandNews from the delightfully named "Doomed to be Stoned in a Sludge Swamp:" <br /><br /><a href="http://sludgeswamp.blogspot.com/2007/07/another-swamp-killer-posting.html">Slough Feg covers Dearg Doom</a><br /><br /><blockquote>Two wonderful covers such as “Dearg Doom” (Horslips) and “Street Jammer” (MANILLAROAD) make this album something that can't be missed.
