Description was written before the event

A tribute show celebrating Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott, and Gary Moore. An evening of classic songs from two legendary Irish musicians.

About: Phil Lynott

Thin Lizzy's driving force and the man behind classics like 'The Boys Are Back in Town' and 'Jailbreak', Phil Lynott shaped hard rock with a poet's ear and a Dublin street-kid's swagger. His songs have outlasted him by four decades.

About: Gary Moore

A Belfast native who moved between blues and hard rock with equal conviction, Gary Moore left behind a catalogue stretching from Thin Lizzy's 'Black Rose' to the modern blues classic 'Still Got the Blues' - and a guitar tone that players still try to replicate today.
