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, charismatic audience interaction and that all important X-factor 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 their appearance on an episode of BBC2’s ‘Arena’ documentary series of the same name. The tour extended to 2009 and travelled as far as the Rhodes Rock festival in Greece and the Virgin Atlantic Barbados Music festival, where the band appeared alongside diverse world music acts and played a Thin Lizzy set representing the Celtic rock genre.
The band's current European 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. This year they will be appearing in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium.
Expect more Celtic influenced tracks like ‘Whiskey in the Jar’ and ‘Black Rose’ amongst the usual razzamatazz and classic tracks such as ‘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.
