PHILIP LYNOTT

RENEGADE OF THIN LIZZY

By Alan Byrne

Published June 2017
£4.99
Buy now: Amazon Kindle Edition

The eventful story of Philip Lynott from his birth in 1949 to his untimely death in 1986, told through interviews with many of the people who knew him best: Brian Downey, Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham, Darren Wharton, Snowy White and producers John Alcock (who kindly wrote the foreword) and Chris Tsangarides.

This new Kindle edition of the book contains many “bonus tracks” not available in the original paperback, with reminiscences from friends and colleagues, a poem, and a free extract from Alan’s latest Lizzy book, Are You Ready: Thin Lizzy Album-By-Album.

Praise for the paperback edition:

“Exhaustively researched. Familiar as his tale is, Byrne still manages to eke out some fascinating facts from his interviewees. Warts-and-all biography of Ireland’s first real rock star.” Classic Rock
“’Philip Lynott: Renegade of Thin Lizzy’, focuses chiefly on his recording career, both with the ever-mutating line-ups of Thin Lizzy and as a solo artist. Contains fascinating passages recounting the famous video shoot for ‘Old Town’.” Irish Independent.
“This book uncovers many interesting nuggets of information and observations about the life and times of a musician less ordinary.” Tuam Herald
