Ireland's only dedicated Horslips tribute band. Keeping Horslips music live & rocking.
Described by Barry Devlin as "The Horslips tribute band of the future".

We're thrilled to be playing in the 2026 Rory Gallagher Festival in Ballyshannon. Catch us on Saturday 30th May at 1 p.m. at Allingham Park (The Fair Green, opposite Abbey Theatre). So many Horslips fans we meet are also @rorygallagher fans & vice versa, so it's just right.

@carrtogram Did not know that about Night Town Boy. One of our favourites to play - though we have no brass section. (Our fiddler takes care of that bit.) Will study the lyrics again with interest!

@THorslips It was that very same St. Columbs Hall gig in 1975 that made me a lifelong Horslips fan. :)

Eamon, Charles, Johnny, Barry, & Jim.
I hadn’t youtubed this until now due to poor camera lighting, but I think of only one other gig (Ardan TG4) were we have video showing this lineup with IBW live.
