  • A Samba Spectacular For Phil Lynott’s Birthday

    phillynottI’m going to be honest here, samba spectaculars aren’t really something that I would associate with Phil Lynott, or the celebration of his birthday.

    Here’s the blurb:

    On Phil Lynott’s birthday, Saturday 20th August, at 6pm MaSamba dance and music troupe will put on a spectacular street pageant to celebrate the life and work of the Thin Lizzy legend. 90 dancers and members of Masamba will form a street pageant, called ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’, on Grafton Street, Dublin performing Thin Lizzy hits.

    The troupe’s incredible carnival costumes are being created in Sao Paolo, Brazil and will represent the different songs; Elvis outfits for ‘The King’, Celtic warriors for ‘Emerald’ and heavy metal leather jackets, electric guitars and more for ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’. (more…)
