    I was ten when that was played on TOTP.  We'd just emigrated to Ireland and I was in a Christian Brothers' primary school listening to an alcoholic priest, who was our maths teacher, raving about how these Irish lads had "won" TOTP with a good ould Irish tune.

    The old boy must have been about sixty and had a fondness for yanking you out of your seat by the hair if you showed any disrespect.  He can't have been all bad because he liked Thin Lizzy.

    any one who likes thin lizzy is cool😎

    I'm sure "Whiskey in the jar" was one of the 1st tunes I tried to learn.

    Great pic. He was cool as...

    Lucky enough to see them a few times over the years and one show (with Brian Robertson) was, to this day, one of the best gigs I've seen - the band were right on top of their game.

    Also saw them with Snowy White and John Sykes (separately) playing foil to Scott Gorham and, whilst neither were as good a fit as Robertson (imo), and parts of the shows may have been patchy with some of the material not up to the standard of the mid/late 70s Lizzy (again, imo), Philo was always fabulous.

    For me, one of rock and roll's great frontmen...

    he was the rocker😎
