  1. Had a cracking gig at The Stumble Inn, Long Eaton. We'd played there before but the crowd this time around were well and truly up for a night of Thin Lizzy. I did feel sorry for the folk club who had been double booked upstairs though! A great turnout (I had trouble wandering around the crowd during a guitar solo 'duel' on Suicide) and a very noisy and appreciative one too...lots of great crowd participation, air guitars and chorus sing alongs

    A work colleague made himself known to me at the interval - he had turned up completely unaware that I was playing that night. He was mightily impressed and has been spreading the word through the office today...flattering in an embarrassing kinda way

  2. Having decided to postpone world domination until we conquer the East Midlands, Think Lizzy are appearing at The Stumble Inn, Long Eaton, Nottingham NG10 1FJ on Saturday 14th November,

    Pop along to hear lots of well known and some not quite so well known tunes from the great Irish rockers - starts 9:15

  3. Had a great gig at Ilkeston's The Davey Lamp. Plenty of social media and press coverage leading up to this one lead to a full venue with standing room only! As ever, the well known material went down a treat but the lesser known tracks were greeted enthusiastically too with plenty of folks having a good boogie/air guitar - even had a couple of 'crutch guitar' moments too!

    All in all a great night!

  4. A new venue for us - The Crown Inn, Derbyshire. We turned up to a see small stage area but even after sound checking the room was still worrying emptry at 8:30. We need not have worried - come 9:00 it was pretty full and ready to be entertained with a steady flow of new arrivals suring the first set.

    It turns out that we got the timings wrong - started the first set earlier than usual for the venue (we should have checked!) so finished earlier than anticipated. For fear of losing the crowd we kicked off the 2nd set at 10:25 not the venue's usual (10:45) and recycled some of the first set (a lot of folks turned up towards the end of the set expecting us to be just about starting!)

    Upshot was a great gig (if a long night), loads of positive comments (even got favourably compared to Limehouse Lizzy - result!) and three return bookings for 2016 - job done!

  5. Dep'd for a mate's band at a wedding - at least I got the setlist a couple of weeks beforehand but there were still a few changes of keys to sort out. We had a couple of runs through the set in the afternoon and went for it! Had an absolute blast - not what Id usually play and nice to be set free from the vocal duties for a gig too B)

  6. Sat 9th May - The Whetmore Whistle, Burton Upon Trent
