WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT DIZZY LIZZY................
Pinch me someone, is there something in my pint? For as the smoke clears and the sirens wail, I'm flattened by the distinctive twin Les Paul attack coupled with 'those' drums and 'that' bass. This is incredible. The frontman, not only looks like Phil Lynott, sings like Phil Lynott, but he's got the attitude just right.
Introduced only as 'H', who is this guy? The set runs through all the classics you'd expect, Jailbreak, Boys, Warriors, Emerald, Cowboy Song etc but it is the little things that make them stand out from the other Lizzy clones. The backdrop, for instance, was spot on and although it says 'Dizzy Lizzy', you have to smile.
It Took me right back to Hammersmith circa '77 and you can't get better than that...The boys are back in town? No, it just sounds and looks like it.

"I'm very impressed, Phil would have had a giggle.."

"I could only watch the first three numbers, owing to the emotions, the resemblance to Phil and the mannerisms and the playing, it was spooky. It made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck!!"
Eric Bell Thin Lizzy

The guitars were ablaze... the singing was electric... the voice was everything like Phil Lynott....
It took me back to the late 70's and early '80's. If you have ever seen Thin Lizzy perfrom... well, this was a great tribute to a great man.
The lead singer spoke with a strong Birmingham accent but when he sang he was Phil to perfection.
The guitars rocked up and down and from side to side while he sang the song 'Waiting For An Alibi'. The guitars came alive to 'three o'clock in th emorning' at 10pm and they sang in a chorus and if you had had too much ale you would have thought it was 3 o'clock in the morning. As I glanced around the room heads were nodding backwards and forwards in time to the music.
They sang one favourite after the other...Black Rose...Chinatown etc, as the guitars soared to new vibrating heights and the crowds shouted and called for thunder and lightning. The crowd responded rapturing their voices and their hands were thrown into the air clapping and singing and pointing one finger to the ceiling and the crowds sang 'wait for my dadd-i-o' and shouted for more.
This can only be billed as an electrifying rocking experience - enjoyed by all.
