I received these pictures from Janet Kaye in New York ! Great pictures and Janet says.... "as far as I can recall: these all were taken at either The Bottom Line in NYC or My Father’s Place in Roslyn, NY during 1978 or 1979. Charles on the phone was at The Bottom Line; the group shot was in 1978; Jim was in 1978; Johnny with the flying hair was in 1979; Charles in color was 1979; Barry and Charles together was in 1979; Pat, I think was 1979 at DJM records."
Even better Janet has loads more pictures and slides and in due course will send them on.
Many thanks Janet !

Only 2 here go to FB pages of mine, Horslips Con 2019 or Horslips for the rest.

Good idea Don. I got Zoom the other day but not tried it. Noted however there are security and data protection concerns about it on news this morning. Use Whats App myself and Skype.

Only problem with having more than 2 people on at same time is difficult to have a conversation as end up unintentionly talking over each other , tried it with my 2 brothers and wifes yesterday and it was a bit chaotic.

worth a try though.

Horslips Derry gigs postponed and rescheduled….

Horslips two sold out Derry gigs have been rescheduled for Friday December 4th and Saturday December 5th.

“We’re gutted that we’ve had to do this”, says promoter Jim Nelis “but we believe that under the circumstances - with Covid 19 beginning to really take hold on the island - this was the socially responsible thing to do. A sold out gig allows no scope for social distancing”.

All gigs of over 100 people have been cancelled in the Republic of Ireland and many of those planning to attend are Donegal based so this may not come as much of a surprise though clearly it’s not ideal.

Nelis adds : “I’m really hoping that people will hold onto their tickets and use them for the December gigs: but Ticketmaster agree that this is the sensible option and they will give full refunds on request”.

Jim Lockhart of Horslips says ‘this has obviously been a difficult decision for Jim Nelis, given that the Assembly hasn’t laid down guidelines but we’re totally behind him.
We’ll rock the joint next December when this stuff has passed over.”

regretfully all the gigs in the Republic have been cancelled, postponed or rescheduled. Further information will be available from the venues and Ticketmaster or other selling agents.
When I have received information about the Derry gigs it will be put up here.
