This past weekend I covered the final two shows of Dublin's legendary rock band Thin Lizzy's 2011 tour. The two London dates were at Hammersmith Apollo and IndigO2. The new line-up included The Almighty's Ricky Warwick on lead vocals, Def Leppards Vivian Campbell and bassist Marco Mendoza as well as origional members drummer Brian Downey, keyboardist Darren Wharton and guitarist Scott Gorham, who for a long while has been the one ever present in a changing line-up. The band played a variety of tracks from the Thin Lizzy back catalogue including lesser known tracks such as 'Wild One' and 'Still In Love With You' as well as the huge hits including 'Whiskey In A Jar', 'Jailbreak' and 'The Boys Are Back In Town'. There was an older crowd than your usual gig, but it was a crowd that also included some younger faces, showing that the Thin Lizzy legacy stretches far beyond the older generations.
