Horslips are an Irish Celtic rock band that compose, arrange and perform songs frequently inspired by traditional Irish airs, jigs and reels. The group are regarded as 'founding fathers of Celtic rock' for their fusion of traditional Irish music with rock music and went on to inspire many local and international acts. They formed in 1970 and 'retired' in 1980 for an extended period. The name originated from a spoonerism on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which became "The Four Poxmen of The Horslypse".

In March 2004, three Horslips enthusiasts, Jim Nelis, Stephen Ferris and Paul Callaghan, put on an exhibition of Horslips memorabilia in The Orchard Gallery in Derry. It was opened by the band, who played five songs acoustically. Buoyed by this first public appearance in 24 years, Horslips returned to the studio in Westmeath to produce a studio album, Roll Back, in the summer of 2004. Described as "Horslips Unplugged", the album contained acoustic reworkings of many of their best-known songs.  The same exhibition moved to Drogheda in October 2005, courtesy of longtime fan Paddy Goodwin, and was formally opened on 6 October by a tribute band, Horslypse, composed of nine teenage musicians. Horslips did a version of "Furniture". The exhibition moved to Belfast in February and March 2006 and there were plans for a New York showing in 2007. In February 2008, the exhibition opened in Ballinamore in County Leitrim, and in July it opened in Ballybofey in Donegal.  A double DVD entitled Return of the Dancehall Sweethearts came out in November 2005. Disc one is a documentary and disc two was live footage of the band from the 1970s, including promo videos and slots on The Old Grey Whistle Test.  In December 2005, the band played in front of an invited audience for the recording of the RTE television program Other Voices in Dingle in County Kerry. Part of the set included three songs done "full-on" - the first time the band had played live and electric since October 1980.  The last Horslips' event in this phase of their career was a TG4 tribute show recorded and broadcast live on 25 March 2006 before a live invited studio audience. A number of Irish personalities were interviewed, in Irish, about what the band meant to them and how Horslips shaped modern Irish music. CANNOTANSWER

Horslips är ett irländskt keltiskt rockband som komponerar, arrangerar och framför låtar ofta inspirerade av traditionella irländska airs, jiggar och rullar. Gruppen betraktas som 'grundande fäder till keltisk rock' för deras sammansmältning av traditionell irländsk musik med rockmusik och fortsatte med att inspirera många lokala och internationella akter. De bildades 1970 och "pensionerades" 1980 under en längre period. Namnet härstammade från en skedareism på De fyra ryttarna i Apokalypsen som blev "The Horslypses fyra poxmän". I mars 2004 satte tre Horslipsentusiaster, Jim Nelis, Stephen Ferris och Paul Callaghan upp en utställning med Horslips memorabilia i The Orchard Gallery i Derry. Den öppnades av bandet, som spelade fem låtar akustiskt. Med anledning av detta första offentliga framträdande på 24 år återvände Horslips till studion i Westmeath för att producera ett studioalbum, Roll Back, sommaren 2004. Beskrivs som "Horslips Unplugged" innehöll albumet akustiska ombearbetningar av många av deras mest kända låtar. Samma utställning flyttade till Drogheda i oktober 2005, tack vare det långvariga fanet Paddy Goodwin, och öppnades formellt den 6 oktober av ett hyllningsband, Horslypse, sammansatt av nio tonårsmusiker. Horslips gjorde en version av "Furniture". Utställningen flyttade till Belfast i februari och mars 2006 och det fanns planer på en New York-visning 2007. I februari 2008 öppnade utställningen i Ballinamore i County Leitrim, och i juli öppnade den i Ballybofey i Donegal. En dubbel-DVD med titeln Return of the Dancehall Sweethearts kom ut i november 2005. Disc one är en dokumentär och disc two var livefilmer av bandet från 1970-talet, inklusive promovideor och slots på The Old Grey Whistle Test. I december 2005 spelade bandet inför en inbjuden publik för inspelningen av TV-programmet Other Voices i Dingle i County Kerry. En del av uppsättningen innehöll tre låtar gjorda "full-on" - första gången bandet hade spelat live och elektriskt sedan oktober 1980. Det sista Horslips-evenemanget i denna fas av karriären var en TG4-tributshow inspelad och direktsänd den 25 mars 2006 inför en liveinbjuden studiopublik. Ett antal irländska personligheter intervjuades, på iriska, om vad bandet betydde för dem och hur Horslips formade modern irländsk musik. CANNOTANSWER Vad var en singel från deras album?
