Lots of coverage of the unveiling of the life-sized bronze sculpture of Thin Lizzy frontman, and one of Dublin’s greatest ever rock stars, Phil Lynott on Harry Street in Dublin yesterday.. ahead of tonight’s tribute concert at the Point Theatre on what would have been his 56th birthday. RTE report, BBC here and the Irish Times – who claim 5000 fans turned out to watch the unveiling by his mother, Philomena Lynott – some great photos at Yahoo News here, here and especially here, via Blabbermouth.net.. and there’s an RTE Rattlebag special on the life and musical career of Phil Parris Lynott online here [RealPlayer sound file]. Happy Birthday Phil.
