"The second album, "For A' That", was recorded now in courtesy of RCA Records in July 1977, at the height of the punk summer of discontent. The opening "Bratach Bana" was the first Gaelic song recorded using rock elements."

Absolute bollocks. Bratach Bana was recorded in Gaelic and using rock elements in 1972 by Horslips on their first album Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part. And yes, it was sung in Scots-Gaelic.60.234.20.82 03:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite right. I have added it in. I created the earliest version of the "Horslips" article, so my contibution possibly carries more weight than an anonymous visitor. Thanks for the information. Ogg 20:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't want to do this myself because of Wikipedia's policy of people not editing biog pages which relate to themselves, but someone else might want to add it at some point. Barry Lyons last known whereabouts (as of late 2007) was managing a music shop in Toronto, Canada. He appears to have retired from playing shortly after the demise of FHR.
