Report: Artist Rediscovers "Lost" THIN LIZZY Photos
October 14, 2010, 14 years ago
The Belfast Telegraph has issued the following report:
The only known photograph of late rock stars Phil Lynott and Rory Gallagher performing together has been re-discovered after 28 years. The image, taken at an open-air concert at Punchestown Racecourse in July 1982, was only unearthed two weeks ago by photographer Colm Henry.
Once Ireland's top rock photographer, the Meath man spent the 1980s photographing some of the biggest names in music, both at home and abroad, and is now rediscovering these images as he trawls his huge archives for a new gallery.
Mr Henry said moving house over the years has resulted in him mislaying many of the images he has shot over the decades.
"I still have the negatives but many of my proof sheets are gone. In the case of the picture of Phil Lynott and Rory Gallagher together in 1982, I found it in a file of Phil Lynott images from 1986.""Thin Lizzy weren't even playing at that concert. Phil Lynott just turned up and decided to get onstage with Rory. It's not like Oxegen now. Things were a lot looser back then and that could happen," Mr Henry said.
