Thin Lizzy set for Waterfront show
THIN Lizzy is quite literally one of rock music's most recognisable names.
The fiery Dublin band exploded onto the scene with a fresh sound, look and attitude.
Led by the incomparable Phil Lynott, the band reached many peaks and influenced generations of musicians with classic tracks such as Jailbreak, The Boys Are Back In Town, Still In Love With You, Cold Sweat, Emerald and Don't Believe A Word.
Most rock historians would agree the pinnacle of their commercial success was in 1983, followed by the bands' premature demise, as they played their last gig in September of 1984.
Just two years later, the world was shocked when singer/bassist and founding member Phil Lynott passed away at the age of 36.
Twenty-four years have passed, the world has changed, but the amazing body of work that is Thin Lizzy still retains all of its vibrancy and influence.
A new line-up has formed to take Lizzy's music to a whole new generation of music fans.
Led by alumni Scott Gorham, Brian Downey and Darren Wharton (all of whom played in Thin Lizzy with Phil Lynott) the stellar line-up is completed by Def Leppard's Viv Campbell (guitar), Bassist Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Ted Nugent) and The Almighty's Ricky Warwick on vocals and guitar.
Alongside the new line-up, Universal Music has committed to a series of re-issue, deluxe and special releases of classic Thin Lizzy material over the next 18 months.
Thin Lizzy will play The Waterfront Hall on Wednesday, February 16 2011.
Tickets priced from 27.50, go on sale Friday, August 27 at 9am from the Waterfront Hall Box Office on 028 90 334455 or online at www.waterfront.co.uk or from all usual Ticketmaster outlets.
