Horslips: 'Eamon saw Cuchulainn as a superhero. It was a combination of Stan Lee and Lady Gregory'
"Sitting in a cafe off Grafton Street, Jim Lockhart is full of memories. He played keyboards, pipes, whistles and flutes in the legendary combo which formed in 1970 with Eamon Carr on drums, Barry Devlin on bass and vocals, Johnny Fean (who sadly died in April 2023 at the age of 71) on guitar, banjo and mandolin, and Charles O'Connor on concertina, mandolin and electric guitar."
"Horslips's Dearg Doom contains probably the most unforgettable riff in any song by an Irish band. And then, when that verse kicks in: "When you see me coming, you had better run, run, run... from Dearg Doom.""
"Have you tried Focail and Conundrum? Daily word puzzles designed to test your vocabulary and lateral thinking skills."
