I’ve mentioned Horslips several times on the blog (use the search function for video clips). They were the first band I ever saw live, and I was lucky enough to 
get to see them again a couple of years ago up in Glasgow after more than 30 years! They were just as good as they ever were.
This has been a long time in the making, but at long last an official biography has been released (I got wind from Classic Rock magazine this month). I’ve got mine on order and I’m looking forward to getting hold of it. I hope it arrives before Christmas.
I also note that there is a 2CD set containing the A- and B-sides of all Horslips’ singles releases over the years. I’ll have to order that when I find a source (I haven’t looked yet, and it might be easier than I thought). Oh, wait. It IS easier – Amazon has it. And nuts! Amazon also has the book, though I’ve already ordered mine from Ireland.
Horslips’ website also has a new list of all known gigs (the one I went to back in ‘78-ish isn’t on it, so I’ll have to let them know).
