Horslips - Live In Philadelphia 1979

This excellent quality Bootleg was recorded in Philadelphia in 1979 by the groundbreaking Horslips. Horslips are an Irish Celtic rock band that composed, arranged and performs their music based on traditional Irish jigs and reels. They are regarded as the 'founding fathers of Celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. The group formed in 1970 and disbanded in 1980 [don't believe this bit as they are still going strong]. A must have for any fan of the genre especially the majestic rocking version of Dearg Doom.
