I'm sure many members of Boards.ie had encounters with Philip Lynott...... I'd be delighted to hear about them. Below are video's showing the early days of Philips life in Dublin.

I love your video's, thanks for sharing, but I don't know if the majority of posters on this forum can help you. I hope I don't sound disrespectful or speak out of turn when I say that the majority probably would consider Phil before their time - at least the period when he would have been seen out and about in Dublin - having said that, I did once hear a story on here of a poster who was drumming in a band in Dublin and then looked up from his kit to see Phil Lynott drinking at the bar and watching them.

I met Phil's mother a few times, lovely lady, I met her at the unveiling of Phil's statue in Dublin and I also used to live very near Phil's old house in Kimmage (it was my first home as it happens) - having said that, he would have been well gone from there by the time I arrived in the world.

That early vid of him is definitely in crumlin. He spent a fair bit of time hanging around with my dad and uncles when younger and my grandmother looked after him like he was one of her own.

My dad used to be annoyed when his "mother" was on tv etc with her "my phillo" stories but i am not sure if i can say why here so will err on the side of caution

My dad hung out with Phil too, they went to school at Clogher road. Both died too young.
