THE boys are back in town, with a Thin Lizzy tribute.

To be specific, Limehouse Lizzy will continue to keep the spirit of Celtic rock icon Philip Lynott and his band Thin Lizzy alive, with a gig at The Marrs Bar in the faithful city of Worcester.

A spokesman said: "As well as dominating stages worldwide, the band have also added a tribute into their show to ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist(and world renowned solo artist, Gary Moore.

"From their Official PRS award, performing for Virgin Atlantic in Barbados, TV appearances (BBC 2’s ‘Arena’ amongst others), and to actually being recruited to record and tour by members of the original Thin Lizzy, Limehouse Lizzy have just completed their 25th year with their most explosive show and critically-acclaimed line-up yet."

The spokesman added: "Despite international tours (UAE, Germany and previously USA, Scandinavia, Caribbean and so on), corporate clients (Mitsubishi, NatWest) and even book appearances (The Rocker, Send In The Clones), they’ve shoehorned a co-headline tour with tribute giants Livewire, along with their own stand-alone tour, in what will be an exhausting year-long schedule.

"The boys are back!"

Bassist and vocalist, Wayne Ellis has been hailed as being "as close as you can possibly get to the late great Philip Lynott himself".

The spokesman added: "The accolades are a tribute in themselves to the time, love and sheer determination that Wayne has put into building Limehouse Lizzy up to the position they find themselves in today.

"However, he is no mimic, he is no impressionist. A Leo like Phil himself, Wayne just has that natural charisma and style that Phil once displayed."

One critic summed it all up in a live review.... 'all the time there is Wayne Ellis, the memory of Thin Lizzy will be kept very much alive and well, thank you!'

Greg Alcock is one half of the Limehouse Lizzy guitar duo. A wah-wah specialist, he was also a co-founder of the band along with Wayne, back in 1993.

The date for the diary is Friday, December 13, from 8pm.
