Holy cow! I popped over to the Horslips site and discovered they are playing a gig January 18th. It’s at the Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow.
I’ve got my ticket ordered.
This will be the first time I have seen them in 33 years – they were the first band I saw live when I was still a nipper (at the Birmingham Hippodrome). They split up two years later, and I didn’t realise they’d reformed until I’d missed the reunion gigs earlier this century.
This is gonna be a great start to 2011.
EDIT 22/10/2010: Getting a lot of hits on this post. Probably also worth pointing out that they’re re-issuing Drive The Cold Winter Away, Tracks From The Vaults, and Short Stories, Tall Tales on CD. And you can get CD/DVDs of the O2 show they did.
Also worth a reminder of a post I made on here some months ago – a video of King Of The Fairies.
And here’s the review of the gig at the Old Fruitmarket, Glasgow.
