Rocktopia - Live On Stage: Thin Lizzy / The Union - Concert Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine concert review by Phil Ashcroft: Thin Lizzy / The Union - HMV Apollo, Manchester (UK), 15th January 2011. A lot has been made of this new touring line-up of Thin Lizzy, the appointment of Ricky Warwick as lead singer certainly raising a few eyebrows in some quarters, but in my eyes the return of original drummer Brian Downey and, to a lesser extent, keyboard player Darren Wharton, certainly raises the credibility somewhat in comparison to the John Sykes-fronted metal version of the band. Add in guitarist Vivian Campbell – much underused in his role in Def Leppard – alongside guitarist Scott Gorham and in/out bassist Marco Mendoza, and the mix becomes once again half-irish, which is where the roots of the band should surely lie.
