mark from eire 1st Apr 2018		Live Music Celebrate Phil's Birthday With @ Dalymount Park	Review Long day's journey into the night By Joe Breen DUBLIN'S victory In Croke Park yesterday was not the only victory for the city. For in Dalymount Park before a crowd of approximately 11000 People, Thin Lizzy fronted by its own black pearl, Phil Lynott returned to their native city in rip roaring fashion. The day-long concert, which began at 3 o'clock, and attracted people from all over the country produced no violent scenes and though there were a few minor scuffles, one of the Red Cross men told me later that all in all it had been a very well behaved and happy crowd. The weather also held up with just some drizzles towards the end. The promoter, Pat Murphy, who spent over £35,000 in staging the show, can be quite happy, as in indeed he was, with the day's proceedings. The concert began with some local bands, including " The Radiators from Space", which pleased many in the audience. Next came Fairport with its own brand of celtic-rock. However, the first band to arouse the crowd in a major way was the Boomtown Rats, who displayed a total lack of inhibition coupled with forthright aggression in producing a set worthy of a band breaking big In Britain at the moment. The band, all from Dublin, who have a new single released at the moment, "Looking After No. 1", appear on Top of the POPS next Thursday, which, for once, should be worth watching, especially with singer Bob Geldof, in such raucous form. The next band on were Graham Parker and the Rumour. By this stage the crowd had grown considerably larger owing to the extra 2,000 or so People who came after the match in Croke Park. Earlier, when Ken Stewart had announced Dublin's win over Kerry, the crowd had responded in the expected fashion, chanting "Dublin Dublin”, but their main heroes were yet to come. Although Parker and his band played a very fine set with all the panache and fervour for which they are renowned, all they really did as the rest of the concert did, was provide an appetiser for the main fare of the evening. Thin Lizzv, of which two of the four members are from Dublin. but which Is generally recognised as a Dublin band, if not in body, in spirit, took to the stage in a haze of smoke and flashes which Introduced their first number, Soldiers of Fortune, which is on their new album soon to be released. "Bad Reputations." Phil Lynott, the band's bassist, writer, singer and general leading personality, who is probably unique in that he is the only black Dublin rock star, warmed to the audience's reaction and performed his by now ritual antics such as the black power salute with an almost visible joy at being home once again. And the crowd, totally at one with their hero, responded feverishly. Ken Stewart, the compere for the day, had introduced the band with the phrase culled from its own hit single, " The Boys Are Back In Town" — which aptly reflected the empathy between the singer and the crowd. The band ended the day with two encores; “Me and Boys were wondering what you and girls were doing on the way home from Dalymount” and "The Rocker" which sent the weary and hoarse crowd happily home to their beds. The facilities provided by the promoter seemed to meet with the approval of the crowd. There was little overt criticism of how the show was run, both from the crowd's point of view and that of the artists. There were no police on duty Inside the ground, so the young People happily enjoyed their little wrong-doings, such as the odd marijuana joint and open cuddle and kiss In the shady corners of the pitch. Later, the organisers said the day had been a total success and expressed hopes of another concert in similar vein in the future. The were no names mentioned, through Rod Steward would appear to be a favourite among some of Mr. Murphy troops. Original Review 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
mark from eire 26th Jul 2017		Vinyl Album Budgie - Budgie	I know of two that exists! My one and the one that Ray Phillips had and passed it onto Lars Ulrich of Metallica. My one came from the Thames Television auction in London years ago (There is an article in Record Collector about it) however I purchased it from Record Heaven in Malmö in Sweden when I was still living in Ireland for £50 sterling. The original promotional poster was much bigger and had the logo on the bottom of it.
mark from eire 30th Jun 2017		Vinyl Album Thin Lizzy - Renegade	The most interesting thing about this release is that the inner sleeve features a picture of Darren Wharton holding the Renegade flag that wasn't used on the back cover of this release or any other release of this album!
mark from eire 10th May 2017		Vinyl Album Thin Lizzy - Thunder And Lightning	I find it funny that they went through all the bother to produce an inner sleeve for this album, only to make it all black with only the catalogue number in the righthand corner on one side of the sleeve!
mark from eire 7th Apr 2017		Vinyl Album Thin Lizzy - Thunder And Lightning	Hi As far as I know it was only released as a single album in Mexico.

mark from eire 12th Apr 2016		Book Chris Pike - In Pecking Order: Budgie 1974-79	Is there any way of linking this book with the first book (The First Book) as they are volumes on Budgie and there will be a total of three books covering Budgie's career!?
mark from eire 19th Mar 2016		Book Philip Lynott - Songs For While I'm Away	This edition is not the same as the original title from 1974 by Pippen! If it needs to be linked to any book it should be linked to A Collected Works Of Philip Lynott as it is the same book near enough.

mark from eire 5th Apr 2015		Vinyl Album Budgie - Never Turn Your Back On A Friend	The original idea by the band was to have a speech by Winston Churchill as the intro to Breadfan, however they had to drop the idea because of legal reasons, but you can still find this original intro on the test pressing and a few releases from around the world! The Original Budgie from Germany is an easy album to find with it on it.
mark from eire 30th Mar 2015		Live Music Rush @ Wembley Arena	The Sound Cellar use to put trips together to see bands live in London, which included Bus/boat/Hotel/Ticket, however on this occasion there was boat/port strike in Dún Laoghaire! So we had to travel from Dublin to Belfast and get the ferry across to Scotland and from there onto London and then when we were traveling back we went to through Wales to Hollyhead and back to Dún Laoghaire!!! So not only did we get to see Rush live, we also got to see Ireland and the UK within 24 hours!!! But I felt sorry for the people that had to travel from Belfast down to Dublin and then back through Belfast from where their trip started in the first place!!!
