40 years ago, Whiskey in the Jar by Thin Lizzy broke into the UK charts. This development spring-boarded a career for lead singer Phil Lynott that stretched worldwide and outlasted his untimely death in 1986.
This Bank Holiday Monday, Maxi and Moya Doherty visit the street where Phil Lynott lived, visit his bayside home and relive with his mother Philomena the colourful life of the poet, author, songwriter and rock legend.
