“the book is a repository of previously unpublished memorabilia and of high-quality design … expertly laid out” - The Irish Times
Featuring a detailed timeline of events, exclusive interviews, previously unpublished photography and a wealth of memorabilia including original handwritten lyrics and session notes, this is the long-awaited, first-ever book dedicated to the history of HORSLIPS, the legendary pioneers of Celtic Rock. Published to coincide with the 40th anniversary from the release of their classic concept album, The Táin, it chronicles the unprecedented rise, innovation and 21st century reunion of the band who uniquely fused traditional tunes with hard-edged rock and ancient mythological themes to give Irish music a new and exciting international identity.
A devoted Horslips fan since his early teens, author Mark Cunningham first interviewed the band in 1995, for Hot Press magazine. Later, he created the souvenir brochures for the band’s reunion tours, and produced videos for their general promotion.
