LIMEHOUSE LIZZY
THE BEST TRIBUTE TO PHIL LYNOTT AND THIN LIZZY
|
Renowned for an action-packed pyrotechnic-fuelled explosion of a show, Limehouse Lizzy continue to keep the spirit of Celtic rock icon Philip Lynott and his band Thin Lizzy alive, well and dominating stages worldwide. Attention to detail, playful audience interaction and that all important X-factor that leaves you with the feeling of witnessing the real thing have led to their performance being described as “beyond tribute”, by both audience and critics alike. Following the enormous success of their ˜Live & Dangerous” & ˜Dedication” tours, the band embarked upon their “Into the Limelight” 2008 tour to tie in with an appearance on an episode of BBC2’s ‘Arena’ documentary series of the same name. The tour travelled as far as a headline slot at the Rhodes Rock festival, Greece and the Virgin Atlantic Music festival in Barbados. The band appeared alongside diverse world music acts, and played a Thin Lizzy set representing the Celtic rock genre. Their latest tour continues to explore and celebrate the artistic and musical legacy of the hard-living, hard-rocking, yet at times surprisingly tender and romantic artist that was Philip Lynott. Expect Celtic influenced tracks like ”Whisky in the Jar” and “Black Rose”, amongst the usual razzamatazz and classic tracks “The Boys are Back in Town”, “Sarah” and many others we’ve come to expect from one of the most highly rated acts on the circuit. "Limehouse Lizzy's Wayne Ellis, an uncanny ringer for Phil Lynott..." The Guardian “entertainment for more than a decade…fantastic live music” Arena BBC2 “if you're sceptical about tribute acts, you won't be after seeing Limehouse Lizzy” Radio Times www.limehouselizzy.com www.myspace.com/limehouselizzy |

In an almost miraculous turnabout, Peter Green has pulled himself out of his long term mental illness. He is practically back to normal, playing guitar, blues harp and singing like the early days. This is what people have been saying about his recent tour: “The place was packed. This is the real Peter Green…..like I always wanted to see him, and now finally, I have.” (Dingwall’s, London. 12th July 2009) “This is not a comeback. This is a beautiful person, a great artist, a genius. A soulful musician live on stage… this wasn't just a concert, this was a great experience.” (Batschkaap, Frankfurt 15th June 2009) “To see a genuine legend at such close quarters was a real privilege. The fact that this newly-rejuvenated Green is getting back to his best, just made it all the more special.” (Moles Club, Bath 2nd September 2009) |
