Zen Alligators
The Zen Alligators were a short-lived Irish rhythm and blues band. Fronted by two ex-members of Horslips, guitarist and vocalist Johnny Fean[1] and drummer Eamon Carr,[2] they were joined by bass player Gary Eglington and Philip Fay on guitar.
They released a number of singles in late 1980 and 1981, including "The Invisible Man", "Berlin Wall" and "Voodoo", but no album was ever released. They appeared at a number of local festivals including the (Paul Funge) Gorey Arts Festival on 13 August 1981 & Occasion at the Castle in August 1982.[3]
