The Four Poxmen of the Horslypse


Which way to Middle Earth?

Horslips got their awesome name from a spoonerism of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  "Faster Than the Hound" is off their 1974 album The Tain.  The album is based on Táin Bó Cúailnge  or The Cattle Raid of Cooley, a pre-Christian Irish legend.
