Thiefdom Of Horslips

Looking forward to getting back to Dundalk on Thursday. (Just hoping no one mentions the time Bohemians team bus broke down 😳)

I wasn’t expecting to come face-to-face with such a mindblowing kaleidoscopic array of people’s memories of gigs, buying records and interactions with the band as experienced @spindizzyrecord yesterday at signing of Horslips at the BBC. Thanks so much👏🙏✌️

Great to see this photo 👏👏👏

In 1972 we recorded a debut album & I watched Charles design the sleeve in our gaff. Today I got to see this spectacular tattoo at the signing of Horslips at the BBC in @spindizzyrecord #HappyToMeetSorrytoPart

Jim Nelis, with Horslips Jim, Eamon, Barry, along with yours truly at the Spindizzy meet for #Horslips at the BBC. July 19th.

For emotional folk out there here’s a live performance of Rollback’s Man Who Built America. After 2 minutes Charles flourishes a 40 sec fiddle solo. Watch Johnny’s face as it ends and when the audience react at 2.38. youtube.com/watch?v=8B_HdF…

Here, what’s afoot in Dundalk on Thursday? A talk about #PureGold or the secret filming of a le Carré movie?

Travel plans for Eamon to Dundalk for Thursday Evening. Train, Carr, or Ulster Cycle? @carrtogram @roeriverbooks #PureGold Thursday 24th July 7pm.

Just reminded that the great Ozzy Osbourne leaves his mark on Pure Gold! It was 1991, just before I met F1 driver Martin Donnelly. No doubt we’ll give Ozzy a shout-out at Roe River Books’ Pure Gold event in Dundalk on Thursday evening.

"Some people say that he's not Fean but Devlin in disguise." Who knew!😆

‘Drive The Cold Winter Away’ provided a melancholy lull before momentum rose again with the ‘Ride To Hell’. #Horslips played, without any compromise whatsoever, to 20k people in Dublin & Belfast, December 2009. Their first public paying gigs since 1980. youtube.com/watch?v=CQApAg…

I’ll be leaving the borough on Thursday and heading to Dún Dealgan (“the fort of Dealgan") where the town motto is Mé do rug Cú Chulainn cróga ("I gave birth to brave Cú Chulainn"). I know him well! Pure Gold. Roe River Books here I come ✊😃

Israel (facing multiple proceedings for atrocities in Gaza) "wasn't given a suggestion by the ICJ. It was given a legal order." States now calling for ceasefire HAVE MULTIPLE OBLIGATIONS to ensure Israel ends it unlawful occupation and genocide NOW. SANCTIONS+ARMS EMBARGO NOW.
