LIMEHOUSE LIZZY - THE GREATEST HITS OF PHIL LYNOTT & THIN LIZZY

Renowned for an action-packed pyrothechnic-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 their 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 in 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 are due to play at Houghton Buffalos on Friday 2nd July, call the venue box office on 0191 584 7562 for further details.

These guys debuted at the Buffs last year and blew us away with their fantastic vocals and different set list to the usual Friday rock nights. Playing the likes of Faith No More, Pantera, Alice in Chains and Muse as well as the more familiar Deep Purple, Ozzy and Whitesnake covers we anticipate a great night building on their first gig here in 2009.
£2.50 Entry.

Friday 19th March
Dusty Tools
Without doubt one of the finest vocal harmony bands in the country, it has to be said they can knock out a canny tune as well and they always bring the punters in. These guys have a good repartee with the crowd and play outstanding covers of Eagles, Journey, Kansas, Thin Lizzy and Lynyrd Skynyrd. This will be a popular night so you are advised to get down before 8.30 for a decent seat.
£3.00 Entry
