'...above all, Horslips play it loud.' NME Magazine



Featuring a detailed timeline of events, exclusive interviews, previously unpublished photography and a wealth of memorabilia including original handwritten lyrics and session notes, this is the long-awaited, first-ever book dedicated to the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 Tain, 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.
