Fri, Mar 04, 2011
The June Bank Holiday weekend is about to get loud in Castlebar with the news that Thin Lizzy are coming back to the Royal Theatre. On Sunday, June 5 - Thin Lizzy featuring Scott Gorham (guitar), Brian Downey (drums), Darren Wharton (keyboards), Vivian Campbell (guitar), Marco Mendoza (bass guitar), and Ricky Warwick (lead vocals/guitar) play The Royal Theatre Castlebar.
Thin Lizzy is one of rock music’s most recognisable names. The fiery Dublin band exploded onto the scene in 1970 with a fresh sound, look, and attitude. Led by the incomparable Phil Lynott, the band reached many peaks and influenced generations of musicians with classic tracks such as ‘Jailbreak’, ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’, ‘Still In Love With You’, ‘Cold Sweat’, ‘Emerald’, and ‘Don’t Believe A Word’. Most rock historians would agree the pinnacle of their commercial success was in 1983, followed by the band’s premature demise, as they played their last gig in September of 1984. Just two years later, the world was shocked when singer/bassist and founding member Phil Lynott passed away at the age of 36.

Jethro Tull has just announced that he is to perform on the main stage at The Royal Theatre on March 20 2011. Early in 1968 a group of young British musicians, born from the ashes of various failed regional bands, gathered together in hunger, destitution, and modest optimism in Luton, north of London. With a common love of blues and an appreciation, among them, of various other music forms, they started to win over a small but enthusiastic audience in the various pubs and clubs of southern England. The breakthrough came when they were offered the Thursday night residency at London’s famous Marquee Club in Wardour Street, Soho.
