Horslips is an Irish Celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The group is regarded as 'founding fathers of Celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. The group formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen on The Horslypse".

- Horslips is an Irish Celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. The group is regarded as 'founding fathers of Celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. The group formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen on The Horslypse". Horslips were one of Ireland's leading rock groups of their era. Although they had limited commercial success in their own lifetime, there was a revival of interest in their music in the late 1990s and they came to be regarded as one of the defining bands of the Celtic rock genre. There have since been small scale reunions including appearances on The Late Late Show and RTÉ's Other Voices. The band reformed for two Irish shows in the Odyssey Arena in Belfast and the O2 Arena in Dublin respectively at the end of 2009. Four further dates have been announced for November/December 2010.
- Horslips is een Ierse rockband die in de jaren 70 vooral in eigen land erg succesvol was. Horslips was de eerste Ierse band die, in navolging van Britse bands als Fairport Convention en Jethro Tull, invloeden van de keltische folkmuziek verwerkte in rockmuziek. In 1980 ging de groep uit elkaar. Na in 1999 weer te zijn herenigd voor een rechtszaak trad de band in 2004 voor het eerst weer samen op. De leden van de band zijn Jim Lockheart (zang, fluit en toetsen), Eamon Carr (drums en zang), Charles O'Connor (zang, viool en mandoline), Barry Devlin (bas en zang) en John Fean (gitaar en zang).
- Os Horslips são um grupo de rock com influências de música celta que compunha, arranjava e interpretava sua música com base em jigas e reels. São considerados os pais do rock de influência céltica, graças à sua fusão de música tradicional irlandesa com rock, que inspirou diversos artistas através dos anos. O grupo se formou em 1970, e encerrou suas atividades em 1980. Os Horslips foram um dos grupos irlandeses mais importantes do seu tempo. Embora tenham alcançado um sucesso comercial muito pequeno, houve uma renovação do interesse por sua música no final dos anos 90, quando passaram a ser considerados como uma das bandas que definiram o cenário do rock céltico. Desde então, o grupo tem se reunido ocasionalmente, aparecendo no The Late Show e no programa Other Voices da RTÉ. O grupo recentemente se reuniu para dois shows, um na Oddissey Arena de Belfast, e outro na O2 Arena de Dublin, no final de 2009.
