Horslips and Other Music

About Me



A site to support my unofficial Horslips tribute page Come Back Horslips .

JOHNNY FEAN HONORED IN DENVER

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

This profile will be focused on folk-rock and Irish traditional music from both established and emerging artists.
Also, I support unofficial fansites and official bandsites in this genre. Over at Blogger.com, I've been blogging about Horslips and Other Music for a while now. I have my own unofficial fansite for Horslips as well. I'm in the usual Yahoo groups and have contributed articles to www.irishrockers.com .
