Horslips were an Irish Celtic rock band that composed, arranged and performed based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The band members were working in an advertising agency design studio in Dublin when they were prevailed upon to act the part of a rock band for a commercial. They enjoyed the experience so much that they pressganged a keyboard player and set about doing it for real, pioneering a fusion of traditional Irish music with rock.The group formed in 1970 and "retired" in 1980 for an extended period. They reunited every so often for one-off gigs. In 2022, they played a concert in Belfast that they announced would be their very final appearance, retiring the band for good.The name is a wordplay in the best traditions of Flann O'Brien or James Joyce: it originated from a spoonerism of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" as "The Four Poxmen of the Horslypse".The group is regarded as 'founding fathers of Celtic rock' for their achievement and oeuvre.Discography: | |
