New Phil Lynott statue for Grafton St.

The Thin Lizzy legend is to be immortalised in a bronze statue on Dublin's predestrian shopping street.

August 19 promises to be a red letter day for Philip Lynott aficionados as a lifesize bronze statue of the legendary Thin Lizzy man is unveiled in Dublin’s Grafton Street.

A joint initiative between Dublin City Council and the Roisin Dubh Trust, the early evening ceremony will be followed by a ticket-only celebration, which is expected to attract Philo fans from all over the world.

The festivities take place on the eve of what would have been his 56th birthday, and the street where he shot the famous ‘Old Town’ video.

Sounds good. Do you know where in Grafton Street?

Rumour has it, that the statue will be located outside/near Bruxelles pub on Harry Street, just off Grafton Street

There'll always be one ****er who'll try something...

This is good news. Having it near Bruxelles should protect it from the skanger element.

That's cool. Dublin needs more contemporary statues.

I'd say it'll have graffiti all over it in no time but it'll be from fans, like outside U2s studio or at Jim Morrisson's grave.

Jim Morrisson's grave is a no-go area. It has its own security guard and barricade.
