The 40th Anniversary year of Phil's passing. A tribute to the legacy of music, words and poetry he left behind for all to celebrate and enjoy. Music from: Live Lizzy - When Ireland Rocked - The Bandoleros play Acoustic LIzzy. ‘Together we are stronger’ The 5th Annual Convention is paying a fitting tribute to Phil this year, 40 years after his sad passing at the age of 36. The huge legacy of music, he left for us to enjoy and celebrate, lives on, arguably its more popular now than it ever was. We begin the afternoon with a vigil at the statue and then on to the Rock and Roll Museum to view the impressive display of exhibits associated with Phil and Thin Lizzy. The evening show promises to be a memorable night with top class bands paying their own tribute through their presentation of the music that has stood the test of time over the last 50 years or so. Headlining this year are: Live Lizzy. Cork based and fast becoming very popular around the Country. It features a group of seasoned musicians united by their passion for the legendary Irish rockers. They have already proven themselves among Lizzy fans for their tight delivery and extensive list of popular songs. In short, a Live Lizzy show is an experience you won’t forget. When Ireland Rocked. With the emergence and dominance of the electric guitar, a revolution and fusion of musical styles occurred creating a signature Irish Rock sound. It inspired future generations of musicians and focusing on this golden era, ‘When Ireland Rocked’ was born. Featuring the virtuoso guitar skills of Pat McManus of Mama's Boys, outstanding vocals of Cormac Neeson of The Answer fame and a supporting cast drawn from some of Ireland's finest musicians, this has proven to be a premier Irish band not to be missed.
