===Changing lineups=== 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]]. Gibney would later join [[Colm Wilkinson]] and Helen Jordan to sing as The Dajacs at the 1980 Irish final for the [[Eurovision Song Contest]] placing 7th. Shiels/Deane/Wilson line-up released the single "Dublin City Angels" / "Slow Down". 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".<ref name="slevin">{{Cite web|url=http://www.jimi-slevin.net/AudioSamples.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220125531/http://www.jimi-slevin.net/AudioSamples.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=20 February 2012|title=Jimi Slevin: Audio Samples|date=20 February 2012}}</ref> 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".<ref name="pollard">{{Cite web|url=http://www.jodypollard.com/|title=Jody Pollard β Singer Songwriter|website=Jodypollard.com}}</ref> 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).<ref name="pollard" />
