Experience The Enduring Legacy Of Horslips With Madfish's New 2lp Set Horslips - At The Bbc. Gatefold 2lp Black Vinyl Set Comprising Live Performances And Rare Archival Material From The Celtic Rock Pioneers. Few bands have left as distinct a mark on the musical landscape as Horslips. Emerging in the early 1970s, they more or less created 'Celtic Rock', drawing from Irish traditional music and British/American rock, crafting a sound that was both timeless and radical. This 2LP collection gathers a carefully curated selection of performances captured by the BBC during the band's groundbreaking 1970s heyday and their powerful return to the stage decades later. LP1 showcases Horslips in full flight during a 1974 BBC Radio 1 In Concert broadcast, capturing the mythic energy of their classic albums The TÃ¡in and The Book of Invasions. Tracks like "Dearg Doom," "Charolais," and "You Can't Fool the Beast" bristle with invention and intent. The disc also includes sessions from Sounds of the 70s and The John Peel Show, preserving the raw brilliance of one of Ireland's most visionary bands at the peak of their creative powers. LP2 moves forward to 1979, with a triumphant return to Radio 1's In Concert, where tracks such as "The Power and the Glory" and "Sword of Light" demonstrate the band's ability to evolve while staying true to their roots. The album closes with rare recordings from BBC Radio Ulster (2011) and BBC NI (2019) - a poignant reminder of Horslips' long shadow and final flourish, including the elegiac "Sideways to the Sun." Presented on double black vinyl in a beautifully designed gatefold sleeve, At The BBC is a celebration of a band whose influence still echoes through the decades. The mastering is shared by Eroc in Germany and band associate Cormac O'Kane who mastered the acclaimed 2023 Horslips box set More Than You Can Chew.
