Well, we had a cracking time in the ‘Emerald’ Isle last week. The first PHIL LYNOTT ART EXHIBITION, at Arklow, Co.Wiklow, was a triumph of a success!! A huge ‘hats off’ to the incredible dedication and hards work of Colm Weadick, who organised this stunning show. He spent every waking hour for god knows how long organising what we think was the first ever PHIL LYNOTT exhibition in the world!
Guest of honour was the ever amazing Philomena Lynott (see my pics!) who by the end of the weekend was officialy crowned as my second mum..I love this lady! Anyone who knows, or has met her, will agree, she is a star in her own right and a friend for life. Philomena opened the show officially on the Saturday, and it was an honour to be invited as a guest artist at what was an emotional and wonderful event.
My three original canvasses ‘Military Man’,'Kings Call’ & ‘Renegade’, all gained some incredible comments, and my good friend Linzi Wright, who’s pencil artwork of Phil was just awesome, was the big seller on the night, where the original sold for a stonking 4500e..way to go Linz!

After the show we all headed off to ‘Sally O’Briens’ for a right old carve up, and we had true VIP treatment and way toooo much free lager! Watching Phylis rocking out to the house bands version of ‘Massacre’ was a highlight!

Eventually we headed back to the hotel for a nightcap, but in true Irish tradition, the disco in the main bar was still in full swing, so it was more Lizzy played on the decks, and more guiness etc etc.. We ended up drinking and chatting into the small hours, with Phylis telling me her own personal stories of Phil, which was just the best…to hear your hero’s mum telling you stuff is a bit..special! A memory i will treasure for ever.

I guess this has to be the biggest step for my Art to date, and and i must say a HUGE thank you to Colm, the good folk of Arklow, all the guests, fans of Philo from all over Europe, and especially Philomena…. YOU ARE JUST AWESOME!

Next time i promise i will bring the band over….
