THIN LIZZY Legend Remembered
January 3, 2010, 14 years ago
In 1981, just 5 years before his untimely demise, THIN LIZZY legend, Phil Lynott, asked long-time friend Smiley Bolger to, “Do a vibe for me sometime”. Bolger, a DJ and Promoter, had just won the Alternative Eurovision Song Contest and Philo (as Smiley called him) loved the idea. This throwaway remark would spark the longest running annual commemoration in rock music history, held in Dublin each year on the anniversary of Philo's death.
The 24th Anniversary Vibe For Philo 2010 - Running Back takes place at one of Ireland’s most exciting venues, the Button Factory, Curved Street, Temple Bar on Monday, January 4th.
Bands on the bill include YELLOW PEARL, METALLITA, the HOODOO RHYTHM DEVILS, TUPELO, BARRY WHYTE BAND, SILVERBIRD, THE QUICKSAND BAND among others.
