Horslips :

Horslips were a 1970s Irish rock band that composed, arranged and
performed their own Celtic rock songs and music based on traditional Irish
jigs and reels. They were one of the first, if not the first, of the Celtic
rock bands of that era. Formed in 1970, they disbanded in 1980, although in
2005, the original line-up has regrouped and performed a small number of
gigs.
Horslips were one of Ireland's leading rock groups of their era, although
their success overseas was mixed.
