Philo statue (1 Viewer)

[dudley]

The Thin Lizzy legend is to be immortalised in a bronze statue on Dublin's predestrian shopping street August 19 promises to be a red letter day for Philip Lynott aficionados as a lifesize bronze statue of the legendary Thin Lizzy man is unveiled in Dublin’s Grafton Street.

A joint initiative between Dublin City Council and the Roisin Dubh Trust, the early evening ceremony will be followed by a ticket-only celebration, which is expected to attract Philo fans from all over the world.

The festivities take place on the eve of what would have been his 56th birthday, and the street where he shot the famous ‘Old Town’ video.

I was aked to be involved in making the statue years ago by a friend of him's mum. True story.

It'd be pretty cool if they took an existing statue of say Jim Larkin and stuck a fro and a bass on him.


Jimmy Carter? he's history's greatest monster!?

 

[chutneyfarmer]

Sweet! If that brazzer with a cart full of stinky fish can get a statue, than Philo's is loooong overdue.













I give it 15 years before they bulid a road through it though.

Maybee the statue will be of him cooking up.
What do you reckon smiley bolger and brush shields spend the rest of their days hanging round the statue telling passers by they know him

Yeah, becuse if there's one thing this shitehole of a town needs it's a statue of some barely talented junkie.

'Cause that's so much better than something stupid like a homeless shelter or some equipment for a school.

Rock on.

since the wax musuem is going to be pulled down, why dont we put the wax work on graffton st ?
