The Hatters

[Chris Gibbs]

Hi ya,

Horslips!

I had a buttie heavily into them.  Mid-late seventies Irish group who
mixed Irish traditional stylie with 70's rock stylie with to my mind
mixed results.

Some of it is good, some a little pretentous (in a 70's sort of way)

Its OK some albums are better than others but don'task me its 10's of
years since I heard them.
