So hard to believe tis 30 years since Phil died.
I was a lot younger but still remember hearing of his death on the news and my Ma and my older brothers talkin about it.

I loved Thin Lizzy and still do.
I thought Gary Moore and the boys did a great tribute a few years back in the "One Night In Dublin" concert which I saw on Sky Arts.

I visited the National Wax Museum in Dublin for the first time back in late August,and there is an excellent waxwork of Phil playing his bass guitar-it looked so real.

I sure do,Gary....
I've sat there many a time on a visit to the capital with a pint of the black stuff,and looking at that brilliant work of art.I've heard about it being wrecked more than once by blackguards-those ****s will always be around and probably never caught.

I've also visited his grave in Sutton and left a little Irish tricolour there.
Just standing over the man's grave felt more than surreal.

Nice one.
