Johnny Fean Dies at 71

I heard the sad news over the weekend that Johnny Fean – one of the most underrated guitarists of all time, with one of the most underrated bands of all time – died last week at the age of 71.

As I have said elsewhere on the blog (and Horslips’ website is linked to in my links section), they were the first band I ever saw live. But I listen to them still, and even went to see them back in 2011 in Glasgow when they reformed after more than 30 years).

I always think of my idols as being ageless, but this year is really knocking that idea sideways right now.

RIP, Johnny. Thanks for everything.
