phil lynott stage

Philip Parris Lynott was an Irish musician, songwriter, and poet. He was the co-founder, lead vocalist, bassist, and primary songwriter for the hard rock band Thin Lizzy.

Phil lived in Howth for part of his life and had a great connection to the peninsula. His mother Philomena was a patron of The Bloody Stream. She passed away a number of years ago but we remember her fondly for her lovely personality, charm, grace and character.

Each year at The Bloody Stream, Thin Lizzy enthusiasts and fans come together to celebrate Phil’s birthday which takes place in August.
We built a stage in his honour, aptly named the Phil Lynott stage, where musicians of all ages come together to play Rock n Roll classics including all the Thin Lizzy favourites!
