Friends of Philo Thank You!

[LizzyFan!]

The Boys are back in Town was friends of Philo 3rd Tribute to Philip Lynott.

The recession hit good and hard, but us true Rockers we held our chin up as the show must go on, with about 200 people attending it was a great night.

Again it was a first for Friends of Philo with Rory Gallagher Tribute 'A Taste of Rory' Dublin and Horslips 'HORSLYPSE' tribute Omagh Co. Tyrone acts followed by TIN LIZZY from Dublin. Also featured COLLY singer songwriter from Wexford and QUARANTINE HILL up and coming rock band from Wicklow Town played songs from their forthcoming album.

The night was a blast, with great support from the UK, Rotterdam, Germany, New York.

Philomena enjoyed herself immensely.

We thank Philomena for her support from the bottom of our hearts.

The Bad Reputation Art, Photographic and Memorabilia exhibition was a personal achievement but not as financially rewarding as last years.

Therefore funds for charities The Wicklow Hospice Foundation, Arklow Drugs Awareness and Roisin Dubh Trust were at their lowest. Cheque presentations shall be made shortly.

We would like to say congradulations to Lindsay Wright from Horsham in West Sussex who sold her Shades of a Jailbreak to an outside bidder after the exhibition. Lindsay made a personal donation to our charity fund. This is the second time Lindsay has sold her most expensive artwork because of Friends of Philo's exhibitions.

To celebrate 25years of Philip Lynott we have already booked our venue for 2011, and we promise it to be 90% Thin Lizzy and Philip Lynott music.

This shall be our fourth and possibly final tribute, watch this space for further info.

August 5th 1971 Arklow Centre Ballroom Thin Lizzy ( Eric Bell, Brian Downey and Philip Lynott ) played as part of their Irish Tour we also plan to celebrate 40 years since that date a very special night indeed.

Thanks again for all your support as we can not do this without it.

Friends of Philo,
