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.

Letting those who are still here I am plotting the return of The Con in 2022. You are the first to know.It will follow the pattern of the original plan for 2018 until a certain band got involved !

Sorry have not been around for a while, some of you will know my wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer , underwent a major op October 2020 and is still recovering.

The "retirement" of the band gives me all the more reason for a Con, fans need somewhere to gather and see each other again. So here I go again !!!!!

It will be in Belfast. Some queries to help me :
1. Would you come to Belfast for it?
2. What time of the year would suit best...thinking of July or September, October or November again?
3. The tee shirt was quite popular and is somewhat of a collectors item as only 40 were made. Would you buy a tee if I got another one done?/You are not committed to buying one of course just seeing if it would attract interest?

Any comments or suggestions welcome !

Thank you

Rob

there were gigs in Drogheda !? debate going on about Ennis which I can't get an answer to , now might have been Drogheda? Help someone must have been at these gigs !

I suggested above that readers look at my post "The End" so I will copy it here as it is clear no-one has! Nothing to do with covid etc the band will not be playing live again due to health issues. This was clear in the release which I attach from my original post.
"Horslips regret to announce that due to health issues the upcoming gigs, already rescheduled due to Covid restrictions, have now had to be cancelled. This applies to Derry, Dublin and Waterford. We're really sorry about this but it's due to circumstances beyond our control. They won't be rescheduled. Arrangements are being made for ticket refunds where this hasn't already happened. We'd like to thank all our fans who've waited so patiently and been so loyal to the band. We've absolutely loved playing for you and hope you enjoyed it half as much as we did."

Health comes first and I will always be grateful for the 45 years I have loved the band and all the good people I am now friends with in the Horslips Family . The Cons were a highlight and I hope to keep The Cons going, will not have the band but I will make it worthwhile
