There’s a certain kind of magic when a tribute act gets it right. Not just the sound, but the soul. And last night at The Black Market, Twin Lizzy didn’t just channel the spirit of Thin Lizzy — they brought it roaring back to life.
From the moment those iconic twin guitars locked in, the room shifted. It wasn’t cosplay. It wasn’t cabaret. It was tight denim, harmonised leads, and stories in every riff. “Jailbreak” hit like a shot of adrenaline, while “Dancing in the Moonlight” had the whole place swaying in time — part memory, part revival, all heart.
The band moved like they meant it — no lazy pastiche here. Every solo screamed, every bassline throbbed, every vocal came with that Phil Lynott drawl we all know and love. This was classic rock, reloaded and played loud enough to make your pint tremble.
And the crowd? Arms in the air, lyrics on their lips. From seasoned rock lifers to younger faces discovering these songs for the first time — it was a communal moment, a celebration of melody, mythology, and the enduring power of loud guitars played really well.
A good night? Absolutely.
A great night? For those who know — it was legendary.
