Hey Johnny and Steve. Thanks for that great gig. Twas really amazing. Myself and Peter, Dave Horgan and his swashbuckling Crew all wish to thank you for your dedication to bringing back great live music to the world. Thanks to Maggie for as Frank put it keeping us on an even keel. Well I suppose that doesn't apply to the only non drinker. But thanks a million for looking after Katie and letting me hang in the musicians room your a star! Thanks to ye also for the compliments on the new strumming tool. And the quality control testing. All the best happy new year, Chris

Thanks to Steve and Johnny for a wonderfull night in Crusheen you certainly made a lot of people very happy. Also Clive Barnes was excellent on the night. You have a new fan in Arthur the Labrador who managed to get in and out of the room without even a ticket having being thrown out of not only the room but the pub on at least 5 occasions during the night but still came back for more. Also many thanks to our kindly doorman whose efforts to prevent the excellent trad music from wafting into the gig were to say the least futile. Thanks Maggie for keeping us all on an even keel.

Thu Dec 30 21:58:59 2004 IP: 213.116.42.172

Happy Christmas to Johnny and Steve. Thnk you both for a great year. Hope the gig in Crusheen is jammed. Love the snow flakes, this site must be costing you guys a fortune.... A special Happy Christmas to the "Ferris Twins" - hoping to meet you guys again soon. Word of warning to Johnny - change all your known telephone numbers, email and othe addresses. A persistant you fella is about to happen upon a guitar with a sort of a goldy finish. I sense large enquiries coming your way about pickups, pedals, pods and God knows what. Love to Maggie.

These Guestbook snowflakes are the only ones I'll see this year. Merry Christmas to all and I hear from a reliable source that tickets to the Crusheen gig on the 29th are this year's best gift for the lucky ones to get them...

Fri Dec 24 21:44:38 2004 IP: 209.63.49.25

Hi Gerry, I was just about to call and congratulate you on buying David Beckham for Derry City for £23,000,000 in cash. Quite a windfall! Merry Christmas. Johnny sends his love.

Hi Lee, it was great to meet you and to see you enjoy yourself so much in Rush. Johnny just called and sends his best wishes to you and your family. As you may know he is still not online in his new home and knowing Johnny he is probably in no great hurry to be connected. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. God bless you.

Fri Dec 17 13:39:12 2004 IP: 213.202.158.188

It was a great thrill to be at Rush on December 4th and to finally have my own chance to see Johnny and Steve on stage. It stands as one of the best nights for music in 2004 for me and it was worth the transatlantic trip to meet everyone from the guestbook and spend the night dancing away. I'm looking forward to hearing about Johnny's next gigs at The Bridge House and more, and I wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thu Dec 16 14:25:33 2004 IP: 209.63.49.6

Hi Folks, I've just been catching up on all of the recent messages that have been posted on the Guestpage. I have to thank you all for taking the time, and for your kind words. Steve and I had a Great night at the gig in Rush last Sat. night (4th). It was great to meet so many friends! Maggie had a great night also. Unfortunately we picked up a very nasty flu bug and are still recovering! hopefully we will have recovered by the time we get to Tullamore on Sat. 18th. Hello to Pat Murphy in Limerick! As I am at present Computor-Less, and just in case I don't get an oppurtunity, Maggie and I would like to wish you all a very Happy Xmas and Happy new Year.! Bye for Now, Johnny.

Mon Dec 13 23:41:20 2004 IP: 212.17.54.196

Just a quick note to say that Johnny and Steve are playing at The Bridge House, Tullamore, County Offaly, this Saturday December 18th.

Mon Dec 13 17:15:01 2004 IP: 213.202.144.245

Johnny, Steve ,great to see so many familiar faces at Rush including: Maggie, The Goodwins, Locky, Myles & Dave, Des & Alex, Pete C, Peter S, Spam, Brendan & David, Keith & Dave, Gregory & Brenda, Noel & Alan, Guybrush, Paul. I think these gigs are going to need health warnings: DANGER OF HEART ATTACK for the Dearg Doom Pole dancers in the Santa outfits, and general DANGER OF FLU - cos I understand that at least half a dozen of us got flu on the trip. I’m looking forward to hitting another gig very soon. PS I still can't see exactly how you get a squeal effect in the Sword and Shakin' riffs.

Sat Dec 11 21:16:36 2004 IP: 81.155.167.174

Rush. Brilliant gig. Please play more often and get those other four "oul gets" out to play with you! Des Farrell ps The album is magic

Thu Dec 9 13:34:18 2004 IP: 83.70.155.3

Steve: After that little speech about Jim's errrr.... "company" I'd say for the sake of my age I was better not there! Thanks a million for the call. I hope you met that young lad from Dublin. Thanks to Johnny and Maggie as well for keeping me posted on the night! And regards to the mad bunch that were there. Looking forward to seeing you soon. All the best, Chris

Wed Dec 8 13:04:26 2004 IP: 194.145.130.49

Steve, Thanks a million for the invitation. A really great night. Johnny, loved that number "from the Rollback album"! A wonderful night. Great to put faces on some the names. Looking forward to seeing more of you guys. Love to Maggie.

Sun Dec 5 23:37:12 2004 IP: 159.134.245.12

Thanks to Steve and Johnny for a great night in Rush last night. Looking forward to the next one.

Sun Dec 5 21:11:58 2004 IP: 194.125.159.148

Thanks to everyone for the fantastic reception in Rush last night. Old friends and new. Johnny and I had a blast. It's a great pleasure to play to such a appreciative audience. Brendan I got the impression, although he didn't say as much, that Jim organised the dancers. I think it's a taste of things to come for "the big tour!!!!" Bonus material.... I'm sure he referred to them as "Horslaps". Giving them a bit of an outing! Love and peace and good vibrations to you all.

Sun Dec 5 14:11:20 2004 IP: 213.202.163.55

Wel done lads on a great set last night. The Dearg Doom lapdancers were a treat for us auld fellas. Which one of ye organised that one???

Sun Dec 5 11:22:30 2004 IP: 195.218.107.79

Johnny: I think that fella before me said it best. Old as his terminlogy is accounted for he does mean it. And may I say for the last 2-3 weeks I was feeling dubious about buying a slide for my break-finger action acoustic. I heard Trouble with a Capital T!: "Hello, Crowleys music store? Yes I was wondering if you stock any guitar slides?" But seriously congratulations to you and the whole band of which 3 more I will pester with e-mails in a minute. Stuff arrived yesterday and I must say thanks from the bottom of my heart for all that great stuff. I shall wear with pride forever-more. Well until I have to wash it. And an amazing $2 for that ticket back then? I would have paid 500 times that. So thank you. Enjoy Rush. Tip: Enyer thru the back entrance of the venue. I hear there's quite a following gonna be there. Steve among those there will be a young Dublin man you met in Ned Natterjack's named Paul Diamond who was extremly taken by you Steinberger and the guy playing it who happend to be you! So watch out for him. Ok. Thats all for now. Thanks to you Johnny, steve and Mick (hope you'll be there drumming into the night. All the best. Chris

Fri Dec 3 23:42:48 2004 IP: 159.134.62.80

Carlsberg don't do txt messages ..... But if they did they'd read like the one I got earlier from a certain young fan of yours - "MOO23 i mo lámh!" Johnny, it's absolutely brilliant, even better than anyone could have imagined. But then, that phrase - "this album/song/music is better than anything we could have ever have imagined" has been used before, by those of us who have been listening to you with a while. Congratulations, the album is a masterpiece. p.s. handy ould band that, you ought give them a live outing sometime ........

Fri Dec 3 17:33:41 2004 IP: 157.190.54.248

Hi Johnny, Pat Murphy here. Hope the new album goes really well and that you make a fortune from it. You always were and still are my favourite guitar player. Love to meet you again sometime for a coffee and chat. Pat

Wed Dec 1 11:53:46 2004 IP: 159.134.164.212

Sun Nov 21 14:03:01 2004 IP: 217.43.62.27

Due to a heavy bout of flu, Johnny has been forced to cancel tonight's gig in Fermoy. The band will reschedule the date as soon as possible. In the meantime they hope to see all their friends on December 4th at Rush, County Dublin.

Fri Nov 19 13:37:18 2004 IP: 213.202.161.83

Johnny, Heard the Rollback version of Trouble last night. It's brilliant! Wonderful playing. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. Hope to be in Fermoy Friday. Happy birthday from further down south.

Once there was Johnny au Fean, With fingers so long and so lean, Used up n down the frets With these amazing sets. You'd make any aul guitarist keen. Standing so tall, An inspiration to all, A legend of guitar your set. Live to see,your the best there can be, Thank god you havn't stopped playing yet. Happy Birthday Johnny. Thanks for a lifetime of inspiration. Your number one fan, Chris

Wed Nov 17 13:49:29 2004 IP: 194.145.131.150

Candles and cakes, foolish mistakes, all along the way.

Banjos and drums, fingers and thumbs, and very special day!

Rub a dub dub, eat up your grub, the sun shines so make hay.

Johhny Fean is playing the Tain, on his crash bang wallop Birthday!

To Johnny - from those what you inspire so he did!

Wed Nov 17 00:05:28 2004 IP: 213.206.30.178

Hi All, Johnny has asked me to tell you that he is still not back on line but hopes to sort that out soon. Peter and Chris we are both looking forward to seeing you on Friday at Mac's Bar in Fermoy. Joe, Johnny says your are correct about the Goldtop, it was the old '52, albeit a bit "doctored"! Philip, thanks for the email, I will respond to you personally but a quick answer to your "urgent" question; it is the original Line 6 Bass Pod and the setting I used at The Jazz Festival is "California", based on the Mesa Boogie. Mick sends his love to all and is fighting fit again. God bless you all, Steve

Mon Nov 15 21:34:28 2004 IP: 213.202.135.235

Hey Johnny, Steve, Mick and Maggie. Hope your all well. Me and Peter should be hoping to see you down in Fermoy. Cant wait for the album. All the Lips GB regulars want to say hello. All the best. Chris

Sat Nov 13 19:48:06 2004 IP: 159.134.218.56

Hi Johnny, We have been having some craic about your past guitars on the Horslips web site recently and you may be able to clear up a couple of questions that have arisen. We have seen footage of you playing a black Les Paul Custom at some point and this is not a guitar that is mentioned on your web site. When was this in use and what happened to it? Also, do I remember you playing a Goldtop Les Paul with cream Dimarzio pickups around about 1977? Was it the old 52 that you replaced with the 60 Sunburst? Really looking forward, Johnny ,to hearing the new Horslips album and it's wonderful that you recording again. Hope to see you playing live again soon. Best wishes. Joe

Mon Nov 8 14:24:17 2004 IP: 213.199.33.20

Dear Johnny, Respect, respect and lots of it. I have just listened to the Tain. Respect and mor eof it. When are you going to play London. We miss you. Seamus

Fri Oct 22 21:57:46 2004 IP: 82.35.30.124

Err...... I think I can get you the number of that guy. Hey Steve Maggie and Johnny. Thanks for the meeting in the Old Oak. Special thanks to you Johnny for introducing me to "Junior" and for takingthe time out for a chat with Brendan. Sorry I couldn't stay. I was amazed to hear that Johnny's wedding was on guitar. Thanks Steve for taking time off for a bit to talk and entertain us. Thanks Maggie for equipment advice, well I saw the movie met the people, no worry's on the T-shirt tho. Ha-ha. Well I hold you to the visit up Johnny you and junior. Remember a bed for ye both ready just hop in the car. Enjoy the Zen CD. And sorry not to see Mick there. Hope your on the mend. All the best. Chris

Thu Oct 21 18:01:40 2004 IP: 159.134.245.216

Johnny & Steve, Well done, last night in the Oak was mighty. That drummer ye found was fair handy himself! Looking forward to seeing you both again soon. Best regards to Maggie.

Thu Oct 21 14:12:46 2004 IP: 157.190.54.249

Johnny / Steve I have what the band badly needs – a rhythm guitarist who can pick a bit on the mandolin! He’s young, handsome (inherited I suspect), eager and best of all does not have any major ambitions in the vocal department. He’s a bit inexperienced but would undoubtedly benefit enormously from playing with such fine musicians as yourselves. All that we need to do is agree terms and ensure that the rehearsal / gig times won't conflict with school. I M Preasario Arboretum Management Services

Thu Oct 21 14:10:17 2004 IP: 157.190.54.249

So Cork’s the place to be tonight? I’ve never been there and I’m not sure it exists but I know people who say it exists. They say it’s as far south as you can ever ever go without falling off the edge of the world. It must be near the equator where the sun always shines. Well, good luck to you guys tonight with the gig at the Old Oak. I’m jealous of those Sommers most wanted men and I wish I was there right now!

Wed Oct 20 21:19:15 2004 IP: 195.92.194.18

Get well soon Mick.Best wishes.Hope you`re up and about soon.

Mon Oct 18 12:57:07 2004 IP: 217.33.82.4

Best Wishes Mick. Get well soon. God Bless.

Sun Oct 17 22:46:56 2004 IP: 217.42.51.167

Sorry to hear that Mick Steve and Johnny. That'll be twice now I'm being denied a serious Celtic Rock(/Jazz) beat -not that you can't burn those frets Steve. I'm beginning to feel you owe me a gig. LOL. Get well soon Mick and good luck to Brian. All the best. Chris.

Sun Oct 17 22:46:13 2004 IP: 159.134.245.67

Hi All, I'm sorry to say that Mick was taken ill last night at a gig in Ballinasloe and is spending a few days in hospital. I'm sure you will all join me in sending our love and hopes for a speedy recovery. Ex Moving Hearts drummer, Brian Callan, will be standing in for Mick this Wednesday at The Old Oak. God bless you all.

Sun Oct 17 21:44:23 2004 IP: 213.202.154.5

Hey Steve and Johnny. Hope you got my mail Steve. All will be said on the Old Oak etc. I've had half the country and Americans e-mailing texting and all the Jazz(forgive the pun) on the Cork gig. All the best. Chris

Thu Oct 14 21:48:53 2004 IP: 159.134.245.174

Thanks Joe, the PODS are warming up as we speak.

Thu Oct 14 20:20:43 2004 IP: 213.202.159.1

Best of luck Steve and Johnny with your gig in Cork, at what looks to have the makings of an excellent festival this year. Keep those PODS burning. Joe

Thu Oct 14 13:25:41 2004 IP: 62.6.139.11

Hi All, Johnny has asked me to say that, as he has moved house and everything is still in boxes, including his computer, he is unable to respond to the postings for the moment. However if you happen to be in Cork on Wednesday October 20th, Johnny, Mick and I will be at The Old Oak to kick off the Cork Jazz Festival. We would love to meet as many of you as possible. Peace and much joy to you all.

Fri Oct 8 18:53:36 2004 IP: 213.94.180.223

Hi Johnny, Was wondering if you were likely to be playing any gigs up the northern end of the country in the near future. last time I saw/heard you play was the open air gig in Monaghan a few years ago. Another thing, have any of the Host's/Zen Alligator's material been re-released on CD. If so where can I get my hands on it. Like the new single by the way. What's the word on the new Horslips album due out for Christmas. Is it as the newspaper article suggests some of the old material re-visited or is there any new material to be included. So many questions so little time.... Regards Eamonn

Fri Oct 1 15:54:38 2004 IP: 143.117.19.245

Dear Maggie and Johnny, Thank you both so very much for the lovely card which i received yesterday. I am very grateful and so is daddy too. Best Wishes to you.

Sat Sep 25 13:54:20 2004 IP: 81.152.83.109

Hey Steve and Johnny, I sent an e-mail to the admin. Thanks Chris

Thu Sep 16 17:09:26 2004 IP: 159.134.245.39

Hi Johnny, A friend sent a copy of the feature in the Irish Sunday paper about Horslip's "reunion." However, that's not you in the photo...is it? It's the same photo from the single which featured "Gus Guest." Who was Gus and have you changed that much? Just wondering.

Thu Sep 16 14:35:17 2004 IP: 24.168.222.31

Peter and Chris, We have tried to email you several times but it returns undeliverable. Can you contact the site admin again please

Thu Sep 16 13:47:10 2004 IP: 213.202.169.67

Wed Sep 15 23:09:10 2004 IP: 159.134.245.18

Can it be possibly true that the Lips are back. It brings me back to the excitement of my first love, nights in the Grove in Athlone (when you were just starting out) and later in Tullamore...sweating and laughing..mimicing your guitar riffs and copying Eamons drum beats at home..to me u were the best band in the world at that time....you were my mid teens..

Wed Sep 15 16:39:12 2004 IP: 193.95.172.66

Sun Sep 12 19:58:45 2004 IP: 195.218.107.20

Johnny, I wonder if you remember me from the days of the Archway Tavern in London (c. 1986/87). I moved to Australia in 1988 and following a couple of letters we seemed to have lost touch around 1990? Anyway, it is fantastic to see you are back playing in Ireland after all this time - so the Treat never made it to OZ? :) I have a son now (Dylan) who is only a year a half old but he already loves to dance to Johnny's Wedding and Dearg Doom, so the legend lives on! We hope to get back to Ireland for either Christmas or at the latest next July ('05) so will check the gig guides when the plans are firm. Would love to catch up with you again so drop me a line if you get a chance sometime ... slan leat and love to Maggie

Wed Sep 8 04:12:07 2004 IP: 138.206.161.194

Steve and Johnny, thanks for a wonderful night in Castlegregory. The joint was indeed jumpin’! You were most kind in devoting so much time to the, ahem, younger fans in the audience ... Maggie, it was a great pleasure to meet you. Johnny about those men (from Clare and Chicago), remember that ain’t background music, so give it a few listens and turn it up! I gave Maggie my email address and I’d love to hear your comments on the albums at some stage. Please remember the offer of a billet in the Independent Republic at any time is always there.

Tue Aug 24 16:44:24 2004 IP: 157.190.2.98

Just in the door. Steve and Johnny, it's guys like you that make it the Kingdom, Steve enjoy London. Johnny and Maggie thanks for the great time and mind-blowing show. Can't stress my thanks enough!

Sun Aug 22 21:16:21 2004 IP: 159.134.245.157

To all at Ned Natterjacks in the beautiful Castle Gregory, County Kerry, thank you for your fabulous reception. A very special thanks to Vincent and all the staff for your hospitality. To all the young people who made the journey from Dublin, it was well appreciated. To Peter and Green Gravel, it was great to hook up with you both. To Frank Hayes from Crusheen, we were delighted to see you again. A very, very big “thank you” to Brian Hurley who has to be one of the best interviewers either of us has ever worked with. Your professionalism and relaxed style is a credit to you and to all at the wonderful Radio Kerry. To all the texts and calls we received from well-wishers, from all over the world, during and after the broadcast many thanks. The web is truly remarkable. To all the people who packed Ned Natterjacks last night, you were a fabulous audience, we had a great time. No wonder they call it The Kingdom.

Sun Aug 22 17:35:58 2004 IP: 213.202.169.27

Amazingly great show on Radio Kerry just now. Especially appreciated the music picked out to illustrate influences on bass playing and style. Then quite stunned to hear my name and town in greeting! And now I add my best wishes for the show at Ned Natterjacks. Aforementioned young man with the flares will be filling me in later on what was played, what model of instrument was used, and how the crowd roared for more.

Besta luck in The Kingdom tomorrow lads. Johnny - keep an eye out for a young fella looking for tips on the Dearg Doom riff. Won't be hard to find him. Wears long hair, flares and has a distinctly 70s look about him..........

The Highway. Crusheen. Saturday 12TH OH MY GOD! I am still gob smacked. In all my days of going to gigs (and I have been to a fare few) I have never seen two guys play so good and enjoy themselves doing so, so much. Johnny and Steve you drank your sweat on the night but you never let up. Johnny your playing is untouchable, the way you go from playing trad, to rock,to blues, and then pick up a mandolin. PHEW! at one stage I thought I saw steam coming out of you fingers. and that voice of yours. Johnny your not one of the best, YOU ARE THE BEST. Steve your bass playing, I have never heard trad tunes played on bass it just blew me away. To cap it all you are both true gentlemen. Look forward to hearing lots, lots more of you.

Wed Aug 18 12:10:09 2004 IP: 159.134.58.151

Thanks to Steve and Johnny for one of the most memorable nights at the Island Music Club, at the Highway, Crusheen. The whole village is talking about it. You rocked the joint. Steve your bass playing was out of this world, Johnny you are truely one of the greats. Guys, return you will. I feel we will be seeing a lot more of you in County Clare.

Sat Aug 14 13:39:59 2004 IP: 137.71.226.54

Johnny,what chance some gigs in the Kikenny,Wexford,Waterford or Tip area?

Sat Aug 14 13:33:36 2004 IP: 159.134.148.158

To all our friends in Crusheen, County Clare, many thanks for the wonderful reception and hospitality at The Highway. Francis, I think Maurice was indeed very fortunate that I didn't take up his offer, as it can be difficult to dance to "fives, sevens or nines" even with an Irish accent. Joe Forde, I am very taken with your expression "Celtic Funk" but remember that the first three letters in funk spell FUN, the most important aspect of our set. Johnny Dooley it's always intimidating to have bass players in the audience, so no kudos for letting me know just before the kick-off. Special thanks to Frank Hayes, we have a new friend. To be under the roof that sheltered one of my great heroes, Seamus Ennis, was supernatural. But to think that I played "The Mason's Apron" on a carbon-graphite, headless, five-string Steinberger through a waw-waw pedal, against a "Hip Hop" rhythm seems sacrilegious. Seamus, not only do I think you were the greatest piper I ever heard but I also believe you were one of the most innovative jazz musicians ever. Your spirit still thrills me. If I had known the history of The Highway before the gig it may well have overwhelmed me completely. Of course, God willing, we will return.

Sat Aug 14 01:11:29 2004 IP: 213.202.168.11

Hi Boys, Great Gig Aug 12th in Crusheen. Hope you boys will be back?, Give my regards to Maggie!. Keep in touch and if you see Ray give him my email and number 086-0687613. P.S let me know what your giging requirements are ? I might set something up in ennis?? let me know

Fri Aug 13 19:09:02 2004 IP: 159.134.167.240

Johnny and Steve. What a blast last night!Carole and I would just like to say how much we enjoyed the evening. Quite honestly I can't ever remember seeing two musicians playing better together than yourselves. The mandolin sets were just awesome! Johnny, your slow blues was lovely, that "lazy" laid back feel you have reminded me of Billy Gibbons when I saw him 18 months back with ZZ Top in Birmingham. You have much in common as blues players to my ears anyhow( and I can't pay you a bigger compliment than that Johnny- Billy has to be seen as one of the very best blues players in the business). But your celtic rock side is uniquely yours; no one to compare that to- never has been. Thanks so much for the treat. Till the next time. Carole and Joe

Fri Aug 13 17:09:50 2004 IP: 193.120.103.65

Amazing gig last night in Crusheen...thanks Steve and Johnny. That ol' '59 Junior is singing and the sustain on those harmonics was still ringing in my ears as I approached Craughwell at 2.00 a.m! Steve, it's no wonder Maurice didn't give you a job, there's just too many damn notes on the Steinberger! Francis K.

Fri Aug 13 14:35:21 2004 IP: 159.134.144.234

HI There, Good to see you boys giging Clare, Tell Johnny that I hope to see him at the "Highway Crusheen" Aug 12th may be we can get a beer? old family friend Johnny Dooley.

( no disrespect to the great rienhardt, and indeed the great gallagher who helped me get out of bed this morning) Best wishes to all the band.

Sat Jul 31 02:46:44 2004 IP: 81.155.106.33

Thanks Alan. We will be at The Bridge House, Tullamore this Saturday July 24th. It's a bit of a trek from Dublin though.

Tue Jul 20 18:48:48 2004 IP: 159.134.147.195

Many thanks for the fabulous turn-out in Nenagh. To those who travelled such long distances, we really were amazed. Noel Ferris and company "go raibh mile maith agat". To think that some people came over from The UK is astounding. We really appreciate it.

Thu Jul 15 21:54:28 2004 IP: 213.202.142.234

Hi Chris (GG), Just a flying visit perhaps next time! All the best and many thanks for the thought.

Tue Jul 13 01:27:37 2004 IP: 213.202.128.130

Hey Johnny how goes it? Just escaped from the Lips guestbook to jump over here for a minute. Looking good!

Mon Jul 12 19:14:45 2004 IP: 62.121.30.130

Hey Steve, a regular writer on the 'Lips guestbook lives in San Fransisco! She (Alias S.Pam Templeton) was wondering if you are playing in San Fran. She'd be keen to see ya! So I'll pass on the answer to her Querie if you wish. GG

Mon Jul 12 17:04:33 2004 IP: 159.134.245.158

Thanks Johnny! I can recommend Zirtek for hayfever, it's the only thing that works after a year or two's summers with different medications (including Acupuncture!). I suffer also from my Grandmothers crackpot cure! Drinking two spoons of vinegar won't cure you! All best GG! Steve their all lucky I didn't place you up on your own pedistool!

Mon Jul 12 14:19:39 2004 IP: 159.134.245.76

Hi Chris(GG) glad you were able to work out the D. doom riff, not a bother to a man like yourself!. I sympathise with the Hay Fever dilemna as i suffer from it myself. Bad oul' dose eh! I'm just going to pop over to the 'Lips' guestbook to have a look. hope you are well.. Cheers... Johnny.

Mon Jul 12 01:32:29 2004 IP: 159.134.59.232

Hi Chris (GG), many thanks for placing me in such company. I am very flattered.

Sun Jul 11 23:30:34 2004 IP: 213.202.150.90

Johnny, i believe you're back in ireland. I would like to meet you sometime in the near future for old times sake and also to possibly discuss business with you. Hope to hear from you soon, Seamus.

Sun Jul 11 22:45:37 2004 IP: 159.134.145.132

Hey Johnny, thanks for the mention of my "midnight" persona: GG! Not to worry: picked out the DDoom riff after a while. Apologies for the mix-up with you and Gus Guest on the HTMSTP cover! My bad! Call over to the 'Lips Guest book sometime. A few of us put down top 5 guitarists: your well in the ranks! You too Steve in my Favourite Bassists section! Hope your gigs go well. I'd be lucky to have a cold at this stage! Hayfever which can't be cured is much worse believe me! A shout out to Maejestro Travers. Chris

Sun Jul 11 22:31:06 2004 IP: 159.134.245.205

Johnny: Was out with Nazareth the other night for a few pints as I am handling production for their Calgary appearances (4 of them) and they told me of some fond times they had playing with you. Said you guys did the best cover tunes during soundcheck...just incredible is what Pete Agnew said. Spoke of a particular show in Hamburg which he said was just incredible..Pete says amongst his fave albums of all time is The Tain. They asked me to pass along a big hello to you. Don

Sun Jul 11 01:33:26 2004 IP: 24.71.223.143

Hi to Jim N.,caroline, Stephen and Noel F, Brendan Mc., Donncha (NZ), Paul C., Joe Forde, Don rodgers,S.Pam Templeton, dorie, Green Gravel, David Creedon,.. Cheers.. Johnny.

Wed Jul 7 19:40:34 2004 IP: 159.134.59.139

Hi Philip (Og) I very much enjoyed the 'Radiators' gig on Bloomsday at the Village. Thought the Band was in top Form! Sorry I didn't get to say Hello to you after the gig, as I had a bad ol' 'flu on the night and left near the end. Hope to catch up with you sometime, until then take care... Johnny.

Wed Jul 7 19:22:34 2004 IP: 159.134.58.126

ooops...here is the website. www.johnnyv.org Cheers

Wed Jul 7 01:33:11 2004 IP: 24.71.223.143

Hi Johnny...was wondering when you can find the time to take a look at a website of a local Calgary player. You can check out snippets of tunes as well. My old mates Nazareth are coming to town for four shows during the Calgary Stampede and I am having the local boy open up for them. They are called the Johnny V Trio. The gear (I know nothing about) is all vintage from the mid-60's, including his amps and guitar. He has played all over Europe, Russia, Crimea and the big blues festivals in Chicago and New York, New Orleans, Detroit etc etc. If you like his stuff perhaps I can send you a disc or email you a few on MP3. Cheers. Looking forward to seeing you and rest of the 'lips in Calgary next year for the Folk Festival. Hell, if Strawbs can do it after all these years, you guys can! Now that would be a treat.

Wed Jul 7 01:32:37 2004 IP: 24.71.223.143

Johnny - many thanks for coming to the Radiators show on Bloomsday. Great that you were there and sorry I didn't see you afterwards. Keep up the good work.

Mon Jul 5 12:40:57 2004 IP: 195.93.34.14

Hi Johnny and Steve. I will see you at the Highway gig( can't wait!). Thanks for the treat! Joe Forde

Mon Jul 5 09:17:30 2004 IP: 62.6.139.11

Hi Jim, Always good to hear from you. Tell Caroline, Emir and Paul we look forward to seeing you all this summer.

Sun Jul 4 15:13:12 2004 IP: 213.202.164.41

Hi to Johnny, Maggie, Steve and Anne. Hope you are all well. Best Wishes, jim.

Sat Jul 3 00:22:36 2004 IP: 81.152.81.20

Hello Steve Travers, I am writing to you from Double Band Films in Belfast .(www.doublebandfilms.com). I would really like to talk to you in regard to a major music documentary we are developing for the BBC. Please let me know the best way to contact you directly. If you are back in Ireland soon, hopefully we could meet up then. Look forward to hearing from you Brian

Thu Jun 24 12:51:47 2004 IP: 80.76.195.37

Cheers Johnny and Maggie. Good to see you over the dose.

Mon Jun 21 22:53:55 2004 IP: 195.218.109.174

Hi Johnny, I will keep my eyes peeled on the gigs page! Joe

Fri Jun 18 13:52:08 2004 IP: 62.6.139.11

Hi to Joe Forde in Chesterfield, It was lovely to hear from you again Joe, and I'm delighted to hear your keeping the 'Blues' alive and well in the UK midlands! I remember those great gigs at Barberalla's in Birmingham! Steve and I hope to meet up with you sometime this summer in Ireland when you come over. Hopefully we'll be able to hook up at a gig sometime in August in either, Cork or Kerry. Keep an eye on the website to see what gigs we'll be doing around that time. Until then, all the Best, Johnny Fean

Thu Jun 17 20:34:32 2004 IP: 159.134.59.144

Hi to Jim Nelis, Stephen Ferris, Noel, Brendan Mc.,and his mate, it was great to meet up with you guys in Dublin last night at 'The Radiators Plan 9' gig. As always it was a pleasure to sit and chat with you, and the 'Craic' was good! Maggie sends her regards, she enjoyed it very much. Bye for now, Johnny.

Thu Jun 17 20:13:21 2004 IP: 159.134.58.71

Hi Johnny and Maggie. It was great to see you both yesteday. Best Wishes, Jim.

Thu Jun 17 16:02:27 2004 IP: 81.137.52.10

Steve, thanks for the entertaining reply and I do share your values about music; its why I still do the blues club scene over here playing in Electric Blueshouse Band ( in my mid 40s) for the price of the trip and a few pints.It's the craic, the respect of the listeners ( most very informed and appreciative to a fault), and, yes, the buzz of cranking up a Les Paul across the range of blues numbers that does the trick for me. However, its great to hear that Johnny and yourself are intending to record and I would certainly wish to buy the outceome even if it is through the web site. For as you say below,when it comes to Johnny( and no doubt yourself too)"you see and hear the real thing". Hope to catch up with you this summer and "keep having that ball".It's what life is meant to be. Joe

Tue Jun 15 14:52:59 2004 IP: 62.6.139.11

Hi Joe, It would be great to hook up during the summer at some of the gigs. Our agent called today to try to put some dates together but it's difficult to synchronise our mutually available time. Johnny is busy recording and producing in Dublin and The UK and I go abroad on a regular basis. We do intend to record our efforts very soon, if only, as you said, for posterity. We both regret very much that The Psychopats never did. That was an incredible experience. I am told however, that there are some bootlegs out there. Neither of us wishes to get involved with big P.A. rigs or four hour sound-checks anymore. We have both spent far too much time on the “testing 1 2 3” routine. We love to arrive, meet friends, have the craic and take that atmosphere on into the performance with the minimum of fuss. Our best gigs are like “social events” where we feel connected to the audience. I may sound like an old hippie now but there is so much love out there for Johnny that every gig is like a mini “Woodstock”. If there is no love then we don’t want to know. There is nothing contrived about the performances. Nothing is pre-ordained, the arrangements are always different and we get off on it every time. When we started back in Ireland we almost fell into the old “trap” where presentation took precedence over substance but then we quickly got back into our old ways of “what you see is what you get”. No frills. The Pistols got it right when they said “Never mind the B…..KS”. We may be too “politically incorrect” for our national broadcasting company to film or record but that’s the least of our worries. Strange to say that at this stage of our careers we are both far more rebellious than we ever were. We are far more adventurous than we ever were. We can now afford to push the envelope without the fear of bad press. The critics became impotent when we realised they were irrelevant; with the exception of a handful, they never knew what we were at anyway. Artists can only find true satisfaction when they give it everything and hang the consequences. Johnny always says that Horslips had to overcome a lot of resistance. They broke a lot of ground for a lot of great bands. It’s easy to forget that not only did they have talent and vision but they also had great courage. I hope that will we leave a worthwhile legacy behind and contribute to the grand Celtic Rock journey but in the meantime we won’t worry about that. We are having a ball. Joe, we look forward to seeing you soon.

Tue Jun 15 01:28:04 2004 IP: 213.202.145.71

Steve,your tribute to Johnny below is both touching and totally justified. In England, on the midland's blues club circuit which I know well, there are many of us who remember Johnny from the 70s( some incedible nights at Barbarellas club in Birmingham).You are right to put him in the same league as Jimmi,Django and Rory(though I doubt he will forgive you for this!). I have not heard you play but hear great things about you too. Hence, is there any chance you and Johnny could be filmed at one of your gigs?Surely someone in Irish t.v could do a feature on you? It really is essential we have a visual and audio record of your music and your unique guitar styles for future generations of Celtic Rock and Blues fans. I am visiting Ireland this summer from 7th to 21st August( Mayo 7th,8th 9th,Galway 10th,11th 12th, Tralee 13th 14th,Bantry Bay 15th 16th, Cork 17th 18th 19th, Dublin 20th. In the spirit of Ireland's rock gigs circuit, I would travel the lenght of the country to see Johnny and yourself play( it would make my holiday!). Have you got any gigs coming up during this time?It would be great to bring some photos back for my many friends on the blues club circuit over here. All the very best to you both. Joe Forde

Mon Jun 14 19:18:32 2004 IP: 80.46.162.180

I was at the 9th Annual Rory commemerative gig in Sheffield a week or two ago with Laundromat, Sinnerboy(excellent), and Brute Force and Ignorance(unbelievable German band) and a guy called Chris Newman. This weekend is promising in Cork(Midleton) with all those acts and a great Cork Rory band called Stagestruck. Unfortunatly I can only go to the Acoustic gig on Sunday because of the tool kids in pubs law. But well worth a trip to the real capital for.

Thu Jun 10 20:14:52 2004 IP: 159.134.237.109

Two masters playing alongside one another. See them whilst you still can.

Thu Jun 10 12:00:36 2004 IP: 81.137.52.10

Hi Stephen, You’re right; the “Twins” stay with Dad. Thanks for that most interesting piece on Les Paul. We owe him a huge debt. Years ago I got an album called “Lester and Chester” which featured Les Paul and Chet Atkins and the guitar playing on it is superb. There are some great old recordings of Les Paul and Mary Ford and if I’m not mistaken the wonderful piano playing of Nat King Cole is featured on a few of them too. I have never met a more knowledgeable authority on Les Paul guitars than Johnny Fean. He should be giving seminars. Whether it’s wood density, headstock angles, “design-change dates” or any minute detail concerning the history or manufacture of The Les Paul, Johnny is your man. One thing that really baffles though me is how an instrument as “basic” in appearance and design as The Les Paul Junior can have such magic! Can you imagine then the buzz that I get, gig after gig, listening to the sound of that instrument in the hands of a master? There is never a night when he is not superb. Every band that he ever graced was extremely privileged. Now that he refuses to play the bigger venues in favour of the more intimate ones, anyone with a taste for excellence should make it their business to hear this national treasure before he becomes even more selective. You can’t see Django, Jimi or Rory any more but you can still catch Johnny. You can still see and hear the real thing.

Wed Jun 9 23:01:05 2004 IP: 213.202.132.7

BTW, I saw great gig by Barry McCabe at the Rory Gallagher Festival in Ballyshannon at weekend (sat). He was asking after Johnny, and said he'd enjoyed seeing Johnny, Steve and co playing last year in the Submarine in Dublin. The gig was worth the 220 mile round trip. Me wee brother outdid me and travelled to see Barry play on both Sat and Sunday (440 miles?). Now I've found out he can drive this could change my life for the better!

Wed Jun 9 21:52:28 2004 IP: 195.92.194.15

Stephen, It'll be a cold day in Hell before you’d part with those headless black Steinberger twins. I’ll bet you tuck them in at bedtime every night. I was doing a bit of guitar surfing this week and discovered that today is the birthday of Les Paul (Born Lester William in 1915). Check out http://www.redhotred.com/photo_main.htm were there is a photograph (Monday June 7th 2004) of Les receiving a birthday cake. The photos are changed weekly. There are lots of write up about the guy on-line but I was looking at http://www.iridiumjazzclub.com/les.shtml where is says: "........One fateful night, while playing to an outdoor crowd, a listener in the back complained that Les' voice could not be heard. To accommodate those farthest away, Les attached his mother's radio to the family's telephone mouthpiece creating a public address system. Again a critic voiced that his guitar could not be heard. So Les "borrowed" his father's radio, the other end of the telephone, and the needle from the family record player. Jamming the needle into the guitar bridge and joining the other components, Les' guitar and voice were now heard by all. Les actually created a stereo system, however with some feedback and acoustic vibrations........" It sounds more like an episode of MacGyver, but it seems that true life is Stranger Than Fiction. There’s a good write up at that site and he’s still playing live!!! Hope to see you guys doing the same soon.

Hi Thomas, My Steinbergers are most definitely not for sale but The Bass Gallery in Royal College Street, Camden, in London has three four-string Steinbergers (one is a fretless). One has the transposing tremolo and is in very good condition. You can get them at http://www.thebassgallery.com Ask for Alex. All the best with your quest! Steve Travers.

Hi Andy, Great to hear from you. There's an email winging its way to you now. "The Group" now there's at least one book in that! Whenever I watch John on Paul Simon's Graceland video I recall the great nights we all had together at The Manor. Priceless!

Mon May 17 22:31:31 2004 IP: 213.202.142.11

Steve Long time no nothing - not since "The Group". Get in touch - it would be great to hear from you and it's good to see that you kept the faith - there was always a real celtic thing waiting to come out. AR

Johnny I heard you here in San Francisco @ the boarding house. I was 16 at the time you guys were a big influence. No other band has come near you. Thanks Kevin Roche.

Hi Gerry, I checked out your website and enjoyed it thoroughly . Thank's for placing me in such good company. Sorry you didn't get that gig but things always work out for the best in the long run. I am sure you are an excellent player. Sad to say my old partner in "The Crack", Tommy Lundy passed away at the end of 2003. He was a huge talent and is sorely missed. If I get to South Carolina I'd be glad to have that pint. Keep up the good work and keep on rockin'.

Wed May 5 22:23:59 2004 IP: 213.202.139.252

Hi to Steven Travers. You won't remember, but I was one of the guitarists who tried out for the "New Miami." I had just left the Magic Band and drove up from Sligo and played "Sylvia" by Focus I think (didn't everybody)? Anyway, never got the gig, but eventually got back on the road with our own band. Good to see you're still playing...you might check out www.irish-showbands.com (the name is misleading). I have a feature there about you and the Crack and also have taken the liberty of including you in "Where Are They Now." If you're ever up in South Carolina, let's have a pint...I'll buy!

Hi to All, Thank you for your most recent postings to the Website Guestpage, including, Ronan Lynch, Brendan Mc., Thor-Rune in Oslo,(No plans for Zen Alligator/Host/Last Bandits CD re-releases in the near future, but you never know) Mark Dodd, and Stephen Ferris. Well the summer is on the way, and Steve and I hope to be returning to a number of the venues we played last summer. So throw an odd eye on the Gigs page from time to time to see if we're in your area. OK Folks, Take care for now... Johnny'n'Steve.

With all the upcoming pulava over the 10 new countries entering the EU on 1 May little attention has been paid to Johnny Fean's contribution to European peace. Zen Alligators's song "The Berlin Wall" in which El Feano undertook to personally pull it down was the spark that lit the flames of peace in Berlin in 1990. In fact on the night in question when the wall came tumbling Johnny hopped on a plane to Berlin and took a sledgehammer to the by then crumbling wall. On May 1 when the EU expands to 25 countries please pause and think of Johnny Fean - Clareman, Irishman, European!

Mon Apr 26 17:09:11 2004 IP: 193.120.132.11

Hi Johnny. Now that all the Horslips albums are available on CD, is there any hope of such treatment for other "loose threads" related to Horslips and yourself. Such as Zen Alligator (not enough tracks to merit a full CD, perhaps?), Host, Last Bandits In the World and others. Apologies if I've missed any of these on CD from my rather distant home in Oslo. But I would love to hear these in digital form. Loved the Horslips ones, by the way.And nice to hear about the acouctic reunion. All the best with your own career...Thor-Rune (a fan for 30 years)

Fri Apr 23 22:56:34 2004 IP: 83.108.24.180

Any gigs planned for the near future in Sligo or sorrounding counties?

Fri Apr 16 23:42:05 2004 IP: 159.134.220.132

Cheers for that Steve, Dublin and Belfast have become closer with the new motorway, so here’s hoping for a few northern dates, or some southern ones within our easy reach. Roll on the summer!

Wed Apr 14 12:57:32 2004 IP: 195.92.194.18

Hi Stephen, Yes Florida is great at the moment. I'm looking forward to hooking up with you all this Summer for some great gigs. Johnny tells me he is polishing up the Junior. I am going down to The House of Blues in Orlando on Thursday to see our old pal Johnny Winter, he has asked for a copy of "I am the One". I expect it will be a great night. Pat Travers is his special guest. The heat here is something else, it was 89 degrees yesterday but I imagine it will be even hotter on Thursday night. All the best for now, Steve Travers.

Mon Apr 12 15:44:48 2004 IP: 4.171.6.200

just downloaded smell the glove, what a truly fantastic song stonehenge really is! Nigel Tufnell's mandolin playing is Feandish to say the least!

Sat Apr 10 16:07:51 2004 IP: 217.42.73.16

Hi Noel, that explains it so, thanks, and when you both become famous I’ll remember I read it here first! While I’m here, and reading it first, I’ll send fond regards to Maggie and Jake.

Fri Apr 9 00:25:20 2004 IP: 195.92.194.17

Cheers Johnny, By the way any chance of wishing a very good mate of mine a happy 40TH, Gerard McCavana Alias( short stories tall tales )i think he,s still got a bit of a sore head from last night. Slan Kev.

Sat Apr 3 20:55:42 2004 IP: 62.254.32.7

Hi to Kevin in Belfast, Stephen Ferris, and Noel Ball. No plans to play in Belfast in the near future Kevin, but I hear it's going to be a looong summer this year..so we shall see.. Stephen, Thanks for looking after Maggie and Jake in Derry yesterday, they had a really nice time! Hi Noel!(Ferris) Heard you were there too! To answer(other) Noel's question, on the recording of 'Mad Pat' I did use a Goldtop les Paul, a 1952 Goldtop, and ran it straight through an old Vox AC30, I used the front p-90(rhythmn) pickup for the solo part. All the best for now... Johnny Fean.

Sat Apr 3 18:51:43 2004 IP: 159.134.58.129

Hi johnny, any plans to play in Belfast in the near future.. all the best Kev.

Sat Apr 3 16:44:59 2004 IP: 62.254.32.7

Johnny, as usual it was great to see you on stage. I’m looking forward to seeing you play soon on any stage you wish to grace, for the Blues or with Steve Travers or with you old mates. It’s a pity sir mcginley of Machester didn’t make it, I have loved to have seen how he was going to dress up as Johnny Fean. It would’ve been a ball. Speaking of which, hello to Marty and Noel, there below (brothers?). There were a hell of a number of things to organise for the exhibition and one downside was the number of people who felt they should’ve got invites but didn’t. There was some bad feeling over that. The numbers did have to be controlled or wouldn’t have worked. Before I sign off I’ll say Hi to Steve Travers and I hope enjoy the trip to the USA. Bring back some rock.

Fri Apr 2 00:40:52 2004 IP: 195.92.194.17

hi johnny,, just wondering what you use to produce the guitar sound on the solo on madpat, i also play a gold top... ty

Thu Apr 1 16:41:06 2004 IP: 62.254.32.7

well jim don't hold your breath waiting on an invite saveeeeeeee

Thu Apr 1 01:24:29 2004 IP: 62.254.32.7

Hey Marty, I look forward to your open invite exhibition launch. What chaos that will be.

Wed Mar 31 10:55:25 2004 IP: 81.137.52.10

hi johnny, just dropped in to say I really enjoyed the exhibition but was very disappointed that there where no fans allowed in to see the show on saturday,with all due respect to the organisers but I feel that they got this one wrong.

Tue Mar 30 22:59:42 2004 IP: 62.254.32.7

it was a damn travesty that i couldnt get back across the stormy main to see that exhibition. i had planned to turn up dressed as johnny fean with a notepad full of annoying star trek convention questions. And now i'm told there was an acoustic set played by the lads. alas for mcginley that he missed it, being only of cannon fodder age he never got a chance to see his favourite band play. i'll have to try my best to get to see the johnny fean band this year. You are an amazing player and it must be good to know that you are responsible for me growing several new tendons in my left arm trying to master dearg doom, oh the endless rewinding and listening....drove me insane it did. best regards to all the band and keep up the hard riffin celtic blues stylee

Mon Mar 29 15:38:27 2004 IP: 193.114.111.58

Hi Chris, Thank you for your most recent message, the setlist that was performed last saturday by Horslips in Derry (acoustically) is as follows: 1) Flower among them all 2) Furniture 3) Musical Priest/The High reel 4)Mad Pat 5) March into Trouble/Trouble w/a capital T 6) Fairy King. Good Luck with your gig on Tuesday, Hope it goes well! All the Best, Johnny.

Sat Mar 27 19:06:30 2004 IP: 159.134.59.201

A message to Horslips. Well it's been a long time coming and I didnt get to see it. A true Horslips reformation. But at least it has brought light on the subject for me my dad wishes to ask about the Playlist on Saturday and to say Dino McGartland was at the gig {editor of the Rory Gallagher fanzine} and said it was brilliant but any way I ahve to say I would give anything to see you Johnny and the lads play in my hometown of cork in the city hall where my dad had seen you many a time. Maybe. It's also my first kind of gig Tuesday I will be playing at my school at an open microphone lunch thing. And my first gig is of course dedicated to Horslips. I'm doing King of the Fairies with me on Lead electric guitar and three guys I know doing 2 acoustics and 1 keyboard. I wish to thank Charles 'O Connor for inspiring me to pick up a mandolin for my birthday last friday , Jim Lockhart for getting me back into Piano and Tin Whistle, Eamon and Barryfor my sense of rythmn and style (loon pants allaround!!!) But most of all to you Johnny. For when I heard Dearg Doom for the first time you didn't inspire me to play guitar because I had one at that stage you inspired me to play some of the greatest music ever heard so for that my thanks are endless. I only hope I can pass this on to my children in decades to come as you passed it on to me. I truly hope to see ye play again. All the best. And again thanks. Chris

Fri Mar 26 22:08:24 2004 IP: 159.134.245.65

Hi Folks!, and Hi to Tony, Chris, Paddy, Sean, Stevie, Doc, indeed all you guys who recently Posted messages to the Website, Thank you. Well... Last Saturday evening (20th.) at around 8:30 pm at the Orchard Gallery in Derry, was an Historic event, when, for the first time in 24 years, Horslips performed a half hour acoustic set "Live" onstage! The response from the crowd of around 200 was overwhelming/fantastic. The organisers of the "Horslips Exhibition", Jim Nelis, Paul Callaghan, and Stephen Ferris have done an incredible job putting it all together. Truly a mammoth task! well done! All in all it was a brilliant night!! That's about it from me for the moment, just want to say Hi to Noel Ferris, Jim Nelis, Paul Callaghan and Stephen Ferris. Bye for now, Johnny.

Fri Mar 26 19:42:06 2004 IP: 159.134.59.78

Go Johnny Go

Fri Mar 26 12:48:20 2004 IP: 159.134.165.23

Johnny, great site! It was really nice to see you and the guys again on Saturday!! Thank you all for making me feel so welcome. It seemed to be an emotional evening for all involved - and I was dead chuffed to be there. Keep up the good work and hopefully we'll all get to see you guys together again - as it should be!!! Good luck to you in whatever you do.

Tue Mar 23 14:28:17 2004 IP: 145.229.156.40

Hi Johnny, Can you please give me more information on forthcoming Horslips exhibitions Thanks in advance Sean Lawler PS Do you remember doing a cover of 'Red River Valley' live at The Rainbow in Finsbury Park, London - circa 1977? It was an absolute KNOCKOUT!

Tue Mar 23 13:54:40 2004 IP: 217.16.48.110

Hi Johnney, in the 70s I regarded you as one of the worlds best guitar players, your gigs in the national Kilburn and royal albert hall are memories i'll always cherish,even to this day my kids and grandkids play along to Horslips greats, and the Tain is like the Angelus in our house, siochain a chara.

Mon Mar 22 21:13:11 2004 IP: 80.3.0.40

Hi Johnny it's Chris from Cork again. I heard a rumour on the Horslips Records site that a new Horslips "Live In America" CD is going to be released. Is there any truth to it? Take Care. Chris

Sun Mar 14 18:32:25 2004 IP: 159.134.219.121

First time visit. Just to say thank you for all the wonderful music you created with Horslips still played,savoured and passed on to my sons. Delighted that you making music and touring. Once again Go raibh mile mile maith agat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sat Mar 13 21:56:14 2004 IP: 62.64.220.110

Thanks a million Johnny. Unfortunately I missed the gig in Portobello's in Cobh because of that "No children in pubs" after 9 but I saw you in Tralee. Mega stuff. And a big shout out to Steve and Mick. Hope to see ye soon. All the best. Chris

Thu Mar 4 20:13:49 2004 IP: 159.134.245.70

Johnny,any word of any gigs in the near future?

Thu Mar 4 11:02:08 2004 IP: 194.74.230.31

Hi to Chris in Cork, with regards to your recent query about what guitars, amps, and pedals I used to record the 'Book of Invasions', my Guitars were, a 1952 gibson les paul Goldtop, a 1960 doublecutaway les paul junior, and a Yamaha fg 180 for the acoustic work. The '52 Goldtop les paul features mostly on the album, but the '60 junior features on 'Trouble with a capital T' and 'Sword of Light. The Amp I used was a '60's Vox A.C.30 T.B. combo (2- 12inch spkr.) I did not use any Pedals for the recording, prefering the pure sound of the Les Paul, I drove the vox a.c. 30 (hard) instead. Hope that answers your query, chris. Regards, Johnny Fean.

Thu Mar 4 01:53:19 2004 IP: 159.134.59.225

HI, I'm trying to contact Steven - I'm Rachel O'Toole, Fran's daughter. I noticed you sometimes check the guestbook. Maybe you could tell me a good few stories about my dad and the Showband scene at the time. Happy to see you are doing well. Thank you, Rachel

Mon Mar 1 19:59:27 2004 IP: 24.81.118.199

Johnny my guitar teacher was curious about what guitars, pedals and amps you used for The Book Of Invasions. The guitars may be on the instrument list but what about the pedals and amps if you have the time. Thanks. Chris

Sun Feb 29 16:46:44 2004 IP: 159.134.218.128

Johnny, good news you are playing gigs in Ireland again. I saw you in Coleraine Students union with the Host? I heard a snip about an exhibition from the radio. I see it is in Derry, a bit far but I’m going to try to go there. Are you playing anytime near Belfast/Lisburn or even this side of the border? Give my regards to Eamonn Carr who talked to me for an hour in Coleraine, a dead on guy.

Sun Feb 22 15:17:39 2004 IP: 62.254.34.8

Hi to John McGrory, Denis in Peterborough, and to everybody who recently posted a message on the Website, Thank you. To answer John's query, the '59 sunburst les paul standard you mentioned,that I used so extensively, was in fact a 1960 sunburst les paul standard. It can be seen on a number of photo's on the Instruments page,(most notably posing with Popeye!)Hope that answers your query John. To Denis's query about any 2004 U.K.gigs,there is nothing planned as yet, but we might be able to get over there in the Summer. That's about it for now folks, Take Care. Johnny Fean

Thu Feb 12 02:47:37 2004 IP: 159.134.58.109

Hi There Just wondering did Johnny not use a sunburst '59 Les Paul Standard on most of the Horslips gigs in late '70's (eg here in Culdaff) - If so, where is it on the list?

Tue Feb 10 21:01:06 2004 IP: 159.134.207.248

Any gigs planned in the UK for 2004? Please come over here soon!!!!

Fri Feb 6 00:27:38 2004 IP: 81.174.181.10

Which venue for the gig in Cobh on Saturday 7th Jan 2004?

Thu Feb 5 17:19:54 2004 IP: 157.190.54.249

HORSLIPS was the GREATEST band! The best album EVER made was "BOOK OF INVASIONS".Thanx for putting it out!

Wed Feb 4 23:20:39 2004 IP: 205.188.209.171

This one is for Maggie. It was great to see you at the weekend.

Wed Feb 4 22:15:53 2004 IP: 81.152.74.212

Johnny, if you read this, any chance of a date in Wexford or Wicklow? Also, I read that there a was a televised gig by the Zen Aligators in Dun Laoghaire's Top Hat, wouldn'e it by GREAT if myself (and your other fans of couse) could but a copy of the video. There must be one somewhere ! Keep giggin' Johnny, you're the only Horslip left doing so. Gerrymann

Wed Jan 28 11:43:43 2004 IP: 213.94.134.29

Thanks Joe for your comments. It's a pity you won't get over when it opens. Marty yes, Stephen Ferris and Paul Callaghan are co-organising. Roll on March indeed!

Tue Jan 27 17:10:37 2004 IP: 81.137.52.10

Hi Jim. Many thanks for that information. I won't be able to make it but I will be touring Ireland in the Summer with my family and will try to catch Johnny and the lads at one of their gigs at that time. Great to hear about the video footage. I wonder if a DVD could be produced with this footage on and, say, a visual tour of the exhibition, perhaps an interview with the band too? It's a nice thought. Their music really is worth this kind of tribute and it sounds a wonderful exhibition. Hope it all goes well. Joe Forde

Tue Jan 27 11:16:02 2004 IP: 62.6.139.11

Roll on March.Looking forward to reliving some great memories and renewing old friendships. Thankyou Jim Stephen and anyone else who had a hand in this. See youse all there!

Tue Jan 27 09:04:40 2004 IP: 194.80.99.98

Hi Joe, the exhibtion is actually going to be in Derry in The Orchard Gallery, and it will run from Monday March 22nd until Friday April 2nd 2004. On display will be over 100 framed items, including a collection of Horslips albums, picture sleeved singles and posters. Over the last few months we’ve twisted a few arms and managed to secure the loan of some of the band’s own regalia, including tour jackets (leather) and Barry Devlin’s Shamrock Bass Guitar. These and other items from the Horslips era, will be on display in showcases etc. If all goes to plan we will show some video footage of live concerts from the ‘70s. As it happens The Orchard Gallery is sited underneath St Columb’s Hall, a venue which Horslips played exactly 30 years ago. With this all in mind and with a bit more arm twisting, we’ve persuaded Carr, Devlin, Fean, Lockhart and O’Connor to fish out their bus-passes and travel up to see what’s going on. They’ve all promised to come, but there seems to be some sort of row brewing about who’ll pay for the Chinese carryout on the way home. For those wishing to see the event in March, it’ll be free admission and open from 10.00am till 5.00pm each day except Sunday. Donations to charity. I’ll give an update on the status nearer the time. Queries to horslipsexhibition@fsmail.net

Tue Jan 27 00:11:25 2004 IP:217.43.58.118

Does anyone know anything about an exhibition of Horslips memorabelia in Dublin in March. What's it all about? Joe Forde

Thu Jan 22 16:11:57 2004 IP: 62.6.139.11

Hi Steve, thanks for that. If you come over to England make sure to include Yorkshire. There is plently going on on the folk scene visit- http://www.realukmusic.co.uk/realukmusic/local/liveyorkshire.htm Otley Folk club is closest to us but maybe we'll just have to come to Ireland. Slan for now.

Mon Dec 22 10:53:33 2003 IP: 193.120.105.34

I just bought my first Horslips vinyl Aliens in an old book and vinyl shop in Cork. I asked an old man at the counter if he had any Horslips and he said not a hope. He said even if he did its gonna cost huge bucks. So I said you've nothing like this then. And picked up Aliens out of a bundle and the poor fella nearly died. But when he asked how much the price was on it it was the last nail in the coffin. Six euro. Then he asked what the hell he was doing behind the counter but only sleeping. Good Luck with your band. Hope you do well and happy Christmas to Johnny. Chris

Sun Dec 21 15:54:22 2003 IP: 159.134.218.21

Steve Travers good luck with your band. Happy Xmas Johnny and the rest of the band. See and do some England dates next year will you.

Thu Dec 11 09:37:13 2003 IP: 62.253.166.153

Hi Chris and Peter, Good to hear from you. Happy birthday to Peter. I have not seen Johnny for a couple of weeks but I will check if he has responded to your your posting when we chat tonight. I manage a band called Kavo and we have been on tour with Simply Red, I have just returned from Amsterdam. Check out www.kavomusic.com Hopefully Johnny, Mick and I will get time to do some gigs in the very near future. Keep up the playing, you could not have a better role model than Johnny Fean. All the best, Steve Travers

Mon Dec 8 11:26:07 2003 IP: 193.203.147.81

Wow1 I mean Johnny Fean. Imean Hi! I'm Chris I'm 13 And Horslips are one of my favourite bands of all time my dad Peter has all your original vinyls mint condition. He even has Happy to Meet and Live signed by the band! I saw you and Steve Travers playing live during the Rose of Tralee and me and my Dad were in the front row. I recently took up guitar (electric) my machine is a Squire Bullet Strat and I'd safely say I'm the only fella my age playing great music like Horslips around. I even got King of the Fairies on guitar from fiddle. Also if I could ask a huge favour! It was my Dads 45th Birthday a week a go and if it isn't too much trouble could you e-mail him saying Hi! or something at psomers@cit.ie Thanks Johnny! Keep on rockin' (Celtic style naturally!)

Saw you lads over in Mullingar at the end of last summer. Brought a CD for signing but didn’t manage to see you after. A great atmosphere and the heaviest sound I’d heard in ages, which sort of felt weird in an arts theatre. Still remember Speed the plough and I’m looking out for another gig (anywhere). Rock On!!

Best wishes Johnny! ‘Tis a measure of greatness to have two birthdays in a year. Enjoy! Other November 17 birthdays are: Sir W.S. Gilbert, (1836, playwright of Gilbert and Sullivan fame), Soichiro Honda (1909, founder of the Honda Motor company), Rock Hudson(1925), Peter Cook (1937) Gordon Lightfoot (Canada, 1938), Danny De Vito (1944), Martin Barre (1947, Guitarist with Jethro Tull), Martin Scorsese (1943, Director - Gangs of New York etc.), Jonathan Ross (1960, pain in the ass). I think you’re supposed to be between Scorsese and Ross on that list, but you can sit where you like today.

Hi I am from Pontoon Co Mayo ( I'm sure the Horslips remember appearing there. I remember seeing Horsips in Ballina,Pontoon and Swinsford. I also remember seeing the 'zen Alligators' in Charlestown Co Mayo (looks like I didn't go very far) but that was before I went to Ulan Bator ( capital of outer Mongolia) where it was different (but very enjoyable (sometimes). Anyway it's good to see the 'site' well done, keep it up!
