  • Horslips were a 1970s Irish Celtic rock band that composed, arranged and performed their music based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. They are regarded as the 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 disbanded in 1980. 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. To the rejoicement of the nation, the band are now set to reform for two Irish shows in the Odyssey Arena in Belfast and the O2 arena in Dublin respectively at the end of 2009.
  • Die Horslips sind eine irische Rock-Folk-Band, die 1970 in Irland gegründet wurde.
  • 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).
