Here we go babies! --------- Jeff Healey's Roadhouse, in association with Monster Records and Classic Rock Q107 are proud to present, Toronto's  SEVENTH ANNUAL, "Thin Lizzy - a celebration: the music of Phil Lynott" Friday July 25th at SOUND ACADEMY II (11 Polson St.) For the seventh year in a row, some of the finest musicians on the Canadian indie are coming together to celebrate and pay tribute to a true warrior poet, Philip Lynott.  Since his untimely death in 1986, Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott has left a musical legacy that continues to influence and inspire musicians around the globe.  Even the legendary Bob Dylan has been recently quoted singing Lizzy's praises.  Over the years,  Lynott's songs have been covered by an array of such diverse performers as Henry Rollins, The Corrs, Smashing Pumpkins, Randy Bachman, Huey Lewis, Metallica, The Cure and Canada's own Emm Gryner (who performed at the 5th Annual Lizzy Celebration).   So here we are after 6 years... 72 separate performances from 33 different artists... 223 songs played... and ready for round seven! One of the goals of the Toronto Thin Lizzy Celebration is to help highlight the amazing diversity in Lynott's music and in the vast array of artists his music has inspired. To this end, over the years the Celebration has played host to rock, country, punk, acoustic (guitars and pianos!), reggae, jazz, metal performances and even a seriously kick-ass Greek bouzouki band!   This is something that sets the Toronto show apart from other similar events worldwide, in that it is not a night of tribute bands (not, however, that there's anything at all wrong with that...), but instead, a night of artists paying tribute. Every performer who's ever graced the TLC stage has worked their backsides off to learn the songs they've played (this, in most cases, on top of their already busy schedules). This is an act of love, plain and simple... a love of Phil's music and respect for his memory... For the first four years, the proceeds from the event went to the Roisin Dubh Trust to help defray the enormous cost of erecting a statue of Phil Lynott in the heart of Dublin. 19 years after his untimely passing, this memorial in bronze was finally unveiled to a crowd of 6000 fans, on August 19th, 2005. With the statue in place, subsequent show's proceeds have gone to such worthy causes as the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF) and the TOMA Foundation for Burned Children. The proceeds of this year's Toronto Thin Lizzy Celebration will be donated to Daisy's Eye Cancer Fund in memory of our dear friend Jeff Healey. The show starts at 9pm sharp and will feature some of the finest acts on the Toronto indie scene. In addition to the amazing talents of (in no particular order); Crash Kelly, Ear Candy, Exodos, Crunchberry, Garage Mahal, Paul Kehayas (of the Brown Hornets), the 45 Tension and Gorgeous George...  we are also very pleased to announce an exclusive filmed performance by the one-and-only DANKO JONES (with the McBrides)! (…and please check HERE  for Danko's killer performance last year!) Once again, Phil Lynott's mother, Philomena, has also graciously offered to take time out of her busy schedule to pre-record an introduction for the event.   Tickets are only $17.50 in advance $20 at the door and are available at www.ticketmaster.ca and Monster Records (416) 975-1829 (664 Yonge St. Toronto, 12pm-8pm Mon-Sat) Direct links; TICKETS VIP PARKING For any questions, please contact Roger Costa (416) 975-1829 or email to thinlizzycelebration@hotmail.com  (For an overview of past year's shows, please click on the 'Features' tab.)
