The band Thin Lizzy...

Thin Lizzy are an Irish hard rock band who formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1969 and consisted originally of Philip Lynott on bass, Eric Bell on lead guitar and Brian Downey on drums. The band were led throughout their recording career by bassist, songwriter and singer Phil Lynott, and are best known for their songs "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town".

Thin Lizzy's leader, Lynott was composer or co-composer of almost all their songs. He was also one of the few black men to achieve significant success in hard rock. Their music reflects a wide range of influences, including country music, psychedelic rock, Irish music and traditional Irish folk music, but is generally classified as hard rock or heavy metal.
