Another Gig to Promote!
For new visitors to this blog or my Horslips Tribute site, a little explanation may be in order. Most of you may know Horslips as a band from the 70s, who recently added a highly successful acoustic album to their catalog.
These photos in my blog are thumbnails of a Horslips Tribute band in Omagh. They tell the story of how it all started best on their site:

These photos in my blog are thumbnails of a Horslips Tribute band in Omagh. They tell the story of how it all started best on their site:
The idea of a tribute band to the Celtic Rock supergroup, Horslips, first surfaced in late 2004. Organ player Michael Rafferty, after listening to numerous records by the group, 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. The group soon recruited John Kelly on vocals, Conor McAloon on lead guitar, Daniel McCormack on bass guitar, and Damien Maguire on drums and percussion. The traditional side of the group consisted of Michael Kielty on flute, Patrick Bogues on fiddle, and Niall Moore on trumpet.
The first Horslips Tribute gig was performed in the CBS Grammar School in Omagh, the school which all of the members of the band attended. With Barry Devlin, bass player of the Horslips, in attendance, it proved to be an extremely successful night as the band performed the entire ‘Book Of Invasions’ album. With this first gig proving a great experience for the band, it was agreed that the group should continue to perform under the Horslips Tribute banner, in homage to the band who inspired the idea in the first place.
This Saturday, they'll be at the The Errigle Inn, Belfast.
