Vibe for Philo

The Vibe for Philo is a one-day festival/concert that occurs yearly as a tribute to Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott on January 4, the anniversarry of his death. It was first organized in 1987 by Lynott's "friend" Smiles Bolger who still runs the festival to this day. Each year a variety of musicians perform including Thin Lizzy tribute bands as well as members of bands Phil played in and reformed versions of these bands, such as when a reformed version of Thin Lizzy performed in 1996. Each year the festival has a title, usually named after a Thin Lizzy song.[1] Highlights are uploaded to YouTube.
