Page "Skid Row (Irish band)" Paragraph 3

Skid Row reformed in Ireland in 1973, initially with Shiels, Wilson, singer Eamonn Gibney ( ex-Alyce ) and guitarist Ed Deane, later adding keyboard player Kevin McAlea.

The Shiels / Deane / Wilson line-up released the single " Dublin City Angels " / " Slow Down " ( in 1971 according to Deane's website, but this seems too early ).

John Wilson was replaced by Paddy Freeney before the band split again in early 1974.

For the next few months Shiels played in the ' Bell-Brush Band ' with Eric Bell and Timmy Creedon ( drums, ex-Orphanage ), sometimes joined by Eamonn Gibney.

At the end of the year Shiels, Moore and Bridgeman briefly reunited for a series of gigs, and a 1975 line-up of Shiels ( guitar / vocals ), Bridgeman, Jimi Slevin ( lead guitar / vocals, ex-Alyce, ex-Peggy's Leg ) ( born June 1950, Dublin ), Timmy Creedon ( second drummer / vocals ) and Johann Brady ( bass ) recorded the Skid Row single " The Spanish Lady " / " Elvira ".

In 1976 Jody Pollard ( guitar, ex-Elmer Fudd ) replaced Pat O ' Farrell in a line-up with Shiels ( vocals / mandolin ), Bridgeman ( drums ), John Brady ( bass ) and Dave Gaynor ( drums ), recording the Phil Lynott-produced double A-sided single " Coming Home Again " / " Fight Your Heart Out " and unreleased track " Skid Row Flashback ".

The 1976 double-disc live album of Rock n ' Roll standards Alive And Kickin featured Shiels, Bridgeman, Brady, Pollard, Gaynor and Ian Anderson.

In 1978 Pollard rejoined, this time replacing Eric Bell alongside Shiels, Bridgeman, Brady and Joe Staunton ( guitar, ex-Orphanage ).

John Brady was killed in a car accident during the 90s, whilst Phil Lynott died in January 1986 and Gary Moore died from a heart attack in February 2011.

Skid Row had little commercial success outside Ireland and the UK, although Skid reached # 30 on the UK Albums Chart.

More of their recorded material was released between 1990 and 2006.
