Bio:
Led by Shay Fyfe. Released at least six singles between 1978-82, including
three on their own Lucky Records label. A very mixed bag.
The best known track is "Brian Boru", about an ancient Irish King but it's more
inspired by Boney M's "Rasputin" than anything by Horslips, including
the disco-era violin backing track. The lyrics are ridiculous.
