@THorslips What an album. Still gets plenty of play here.

The Irish Daily Mirror 22nd March - Horslips’ TheTáin gets honoured.

@vickimichelle I remember it well. Iconic ad.

Happy St Patrick’s Day Everyone. Great memory when I did a Commercial for Harp Lager and became famous in Ireland as Sally OBrien and “The Way She Might Look At You” Have a Fabulous Day #StPatricksDay #SallyOBrien #Guiness #StPatrick

Someone in Orosháza used the Shazam function on their phone to identify 'Lonely Road'. I had to look up where it is. It's in south-east Hungary and that's wild as far as I'm concerned. Isn't technology fantastic. youtube.com/watch?v=8JUefV…

@THorslips And here we are in 2026 and it's still a great song! Happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all.

OTD 17th March 1972 #Horslips held the #JohnnysWedding release party at Captain America’s, Grafton St Dublin. It was their first single. The clipping appears to mention “The LP” HTMSTP which of course Charles designed but I understand Eric helped with liner notes.

Most played song this week was 'Long Way From Clare To Here' and that was in Dublin of all places. I wonder if they were thinking about heading down and thought the answer to how long it might take was in the song!😆youtube.com/watch?v=1QdtmY…

@JayinKyiv What if everyone decided not to watch it. Wouldn't that be something!

With less than 2 months to go until elections, Hungary's Russian-backed Orban regime paid the previous girlfriend of the opposition candidate (that's polling 12 points ahead of Orban) to secretly film a sex scene with him to hurt his campaign. I dunno. This guy is pretty good looking. I might even check out that vid. Definitely not going to hurt his campaign. Orban is a moron.

@fobraonain @realUpScrolled I decided to check it out too, so signed up yesterday. Let's see how it works out. I'll see you there.

@dineen20dineen Ha ha, loving all your posts (each one triggering a definite memory). Ah yes, the old flyin' duster trick. The top footballer on our school team was in my class, so he usually caught it before it hit me. Must say 'thanks' the next time I see him.😀

Memories from your school days when the duster was flung across the class room

@strategywoman You're more than welcome, Yara. I hope it gave him a moment of respite from all he has to endure these days.

I want to say this. I’m deeply thankful to Ireland for the warmth you showed Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday. Go raibh míle maith agat 🫂

@maria_drutska 😢

This is what my home looks like now. My building was hit as a result of Russia’s massive drone attack last night.

@THorslips Nice version, he'd be welcome at my campfire any time! I sure hope he's having a great day... and a wonderful life. If anyone deserves it, he sure does.

Happy Birthday #BarryDevlin Nov27th. Here’s him, singing & fingerpicking #GreenStarLiner, a song about Donegal’s MicíMacGabhann, author of “RothaMór an tSaoil”. Barry was born 1946 & the film “It’s a Wonderful Life” was released a few days later. I think you’re having one Barry!

@GilbertOSull_ ... of course as a blues fan, I'm also quite partial to Chris Spedding's slide playing on 'I'm In Love With You'.

“Back To Front” hit #1 on the UK Album Chart on 18 November 1972. What’s your favourite track from the album?

@GilbertOSull_ 'Clair'... just a wonderful song, especially knowing the backstory (who it's about).

@Ana_Anita_H Abbey Road, Side 2. Something about it that always gets me.

Woke up in a Beatles kind of mood. Best album? Sgt Peppers, however best song Paperback Writer. You will tell me I am wrong I am sure.

@MiamiShowband Wow, tremendous achievement, Stephen.

On my way through the airport today. The Bass Player: Surviving The Miami Showband Massacre #1
