Horslypse; The idea of a tribute band to the Celtic Rock supergroup, Horslips, first surfaced in late 2004. Organ player Michael Rafferty, after listening to numerous records by the group, formed the idea of bringing together a group of musicians for one performance in tribute to the band. As the idea began to gather realistic potential, Ryan O’Sullivan was approached and soon recruited as the group’s guitar player. As word spread about the possibility of a tribute band forming, it became apparent that a number of other musicians, who cited Horslips as a main influence, were interested. The group soon recruited John Kelly on vocals, Conor McAloon on lead guitar, Daniel McCormack on bass guitar, and Damien Maguire on drums and percussion. The traditional side of the group consisted of Michael Kielty on flute, Patrick Bogues on fiddle, and Niall Moore on banjo and trumpet.

Mickey Coleman; Born and reared on the shores of Lough Neagh, Ardboe Co Tyrone. Mickey Coleman has been steeped in folk music since he was a child singing and writing songs from a very early age.
 
This talented singer songwriter is now recording his first ever album of original tracks which is due for release in September. Mickey Coleman’s talent for penning songs which in some way or another have shaped his life and which have captured the hearts of many in his live performances to date has been well documented in songs such as The Brantry Boy, My Coalisland Girl and Kilkeel fishermen.

 

It was due to the tragic circumstance of a close friend and well known fellow county footballer and GAA star Cormac McAnallen that Mickey Coleman recorded his first ever song this was to be in honour of Cormacs memory (The Brantry Boy). After recording this single which sold 5000 copies in County Tyrone and which Mickey sang on R.T.E television all of a sudden Mickey Coleman was unearthed.

Brendan “Brush” Shiels has enjoyed a lifetime as one of Irelands best loved entertainers. In the late sixties Brush launched Skid Row, a Dublin trio, this band wrote songs with strong blues guitar parts and folk lyrics. Brush was the bassist, singer and songwriter for most of the tracks, while one of the first lead vocalists was the legendary Phil Lynott, later to be replaced by the also legendary Gary Moore. After the success of Skid Row, Brush Shiels decided to go solo & toured extensively all over Ireland preferring the smaller intimate venues. Brush has had success in recent years in the Irish charts with “The Fields of Athenry” & “Dirty Old Town”.
