And so the final end for Horslips as a live band in whatever form has come. Sad news but we will always remember this amazing band and their legendary contribution to music and their incredible live performances.
Their last gig is tonight in the Ulster Hall , appropriately. Along with Pat McManus Band Jim Lockhart and Barry Devlin played Horslips Con 2022 on 5 November.

I will have been at both.

BARRY DEVLIN AND JIM LOCKHART TO PLAY HORSLIPS CON 2022 !!!

I can now announce the final performers at Horslips Con 2022 on 5 November in the Black Box, Belfast.

Following the Pat McManus Band set they will be joined on stage around 10.40 by Barry Devlin and Jim Lockhart for a number of Horslips classic songs.

This is an incredible likely one off gig with guitar legend Pat joining forces with Irish rock legends Barry and Jim and cannot be missed. The band will close the event by 11.00pm.

Barry and Jim have supported the Cons from the beginning and were attending the 2022 as punters when Pat asked if they would join him on stage. Needless to say it was a suggestion readily accepted by all involved especially myself.

So just in case you haven't got tickets yet for The Con better move fast ! Tickets available here :

Here is this years Con logo ! Started with couple of drafts and sent to Poxmen bassist Киев Галлахер who is very talented when not playing bass ! He produced the 2018 poster and for the tee.Couldn't find a good picture of the bass so asked a Mr. B. Devlin if he could take a picture which he kindly did and Киев drew the centrepiece of the logo. After a couple of amendments he produced the attached masterpiece.

I sent it to the man behind all the Horslips album covers, the legend Charles O'Connor who said it was great and gave his approval of it !!!!

Can't get better than that !!
Thanks to Barry Devlin, Киев Галлахер and Charles O'Connor.

Happy Easter everyone ! Here is your special "Easter Egg" - headlining Horslips Con 2022 are The Pat McManus Band ! There is a long history of Horslips and Pat McManus from the days of Pulse and Mama's Boys. They frequently supported the Lips and Barry Devlin was a major influence thanks to Molly Kavanagh who asked him to come see her little brothers band....and the rest is history.
Opening the Con will be The Teraways all of whom are fanatical Horslips fans, frequently found at Lips gigs front row centre at the stage.
Tickets on sale June. Keep a look out !
ps Horslips will not be playing for those few who don't know that the band stopped performing.
