Bio:

Taxi were a twin guitar progressive rock and blues band similar in style to Jethro Tull. They appeared on Like Now on RTE TV [October 4, 1969] and had two tracks on the Paddy Is Dead compilation LP released in 1969. Their tracks are among the better offerings on this album. Taxi split in 1970 or 1971 due to lack of success, some members teaming up with members of Belfast band Crypt to form Ironhorse.

Teddy Irvine played bass with the band at some point. Ronnie Moore possibly AKA Kipp'n? Another sometime member Sammy Whiteside (lead guitar) later worked with Alan Dee.
