Phil Lynott tribute at the Cherry Tree
Published Date:
03 October 2008
THIN Lizzy fans are getting ready for their annual tribute to the band's inspirational frontman Phil Lynott.
The band found fame in the '70s with hits such as The Boys Are Back In Town and Dancing in the Moonlight.
And Phil's legendary rock 'n' roll antics ensured he reached iconic status way before his untimely death in 1986.
Tomorrow's (Saturday, 4 October) show will be the sixth time that Peterborough has marked the Dublin rocker's death with a tribute gig.
This year's will be at the Yaxley and District Royal British Legion Social Club – and a few tickets are still available – call now to reserve.
Bands on the bill include Crossfire (who will play a full Thin Lizzy tribute set), The Above and Children of the Revolution.
All the proceeds from the event will go to the Roisin Dubh Trust, which works to commemorate Lynott's work and his legacy (a sustained campaign by the trust resulted in the unveiling of a bronze statue of Lynott in Dublin city centre).
There is also a pre-show event at the Cherry Tree, in Woodston, Peterborough, tonight – which will feature music from Black Rose.
Tickets for the tribute gig, costing £10, are available by calling the club, on 01733 240873, or organiser Terry Naraine on 0779 6250071.
Saturday's show begins at 7pm.
