Charity event will help struggling musicians

From the The Bolton News, first published Wednesday 29th Aug 2007.

A CHARITY event at the Soundhouse on September 22 will raise money for struggling musicians.

The Boys Are Back In Bolton is a charity event which celebrates the life and music of rock legend Philip Lynott and Thin Lizzy.

The event has the blessing of Philip's mother, Philomena Lynott, who will be opening the night's festivities with a specially recorded video message.

All profits from the gig will go to Philomena's charity, The Roisin Dubh Trust, which is hoping to set up a Philip Lynott Music Scholarship to benefit underpriveliged young people.

The gig will feature top Thin Lizzy tribute band Tizz Lizzy from Belfast who have wowed audiences at similar tribute events in Scotland and Ireland, along with rising U.K. rockers The Temple Dogs and See Red, and an acoustic set from Acoustic Lizzy, who will also be performing at the second annual Philip Lynott Statue Memorial Concert in Dublin, on Saturday, August 18.

See Red's set will feature a guest appearance from current Atomkraft and former Venom frontman Tony "Demolition" Dolan (a big fan of Lizzy), who will be joining the band for a blast through Lizzy classic "Cold Sweat".

Tizz Lizzy will perform well-loved classic hits from throughout Philip's career, and the other bands performing will be playing gems from Thin Lizzy's albums and Philip's solo albums. Frontman Matt Wilson bears a jaw-dropping resemblance to Phil Lynott - see the photo in the "Bands" section of www.theboysarebackinbolton.com.

Doors open at 7.30pm. Tickets are priced £5, and are available from www.theboysarebackinbolton.com or from the Albert Halls box office on 01204 334400 .
