The Hot Press Newsdesk, 30 Jun 2011
The highly acclaimed exhibition, which brought visitors to Dublin from all over the world since it opened in March, will now run through the months of July and August, with a programme of events being lined up to bring additional fun and entertainment to the run. Full details will be announced over the coming weeks.
The exhibition is being supported by Dublin's Radio Nova (100.3 FM), who were instrumental in the decision to re-open the exhibition.
"It really is a fantastic exhibition," Radio Nova chief executive Kevin Branigan commented. "Philip Lynott and Thin Lizzy are such an extraordinary Irish rock legend, so it is brilliant to see their career celebrated in this way. Some of the personal material from Philip's childhood, the hand-written song lyrics and so on are stunning."
"All of the presenters here at Nova are very excited about it," he added. "Among all the great Irish bands, Thin Lizzy stand out as being especially important to Radio Nova and to its listenership, so it is a great privilege for us to be involved in this amazing celebration of the band and their legacy."
The run will encompass Philip Lynott's birthday, on August 20, when a special Samba Band tribute is already planned for the city.
"A lot of people will come to Dublin to catch the exhibition over the summer, and especially around Philip's birthday," Mark Hogan of Hot Press said. "The exhibition was so positively received by everyone who attended that we have continued to get emails and requests from overseas, asking us about getting to see it. It is something that we want to share with the wider community of Thin Lizzy fans, all over Ireland - and indeed all over the world - so it is great to be able to work with Radio Nova to make this happen."
The Philip Lynott Exhibition will return to The Stephen's Green Shopping Centre in Dublin from July 6 – August 31, 2011.
