I once saw a THIN LIZZY tribute band years ago maybe over 20 years ago now in the late 1990s called LIMEHOUSE LIZZY in the back of a pub one Saturday night in Putney in south west London and they were pretty good I seem to recall. The main vocalist and bass player was a dark skinned dude (just like Philo was) and he had two exceptionally long haired guitarist's either side of him and of course a drummer scrubbing & tubbing at the back.
I can't remember exactly what numbers they played but it was probably all the songs that you would expect Thin Lizzy to play from there Live And Dangerous era album 1976-78 although I do remember the guy who assumed Phil Lynott's role as main vocalist and bass player telling the gathered crowd between songs that the were going to play a number that they didn't usually play live off "there Nightlife album" cheeky sod lol ha ha ha...
I enjoyed the evening a lot.

First time I saw them was above a social club in Rochdale, around '97. They came on, all seemed good, then the lead singer got his panties in a bunch about something not sounding right. Had the other members walk off stage and we had to wait a good half hour til they came back out.
Saw them a couple more times after that too. One of, if not the best cover band I've seen, though not seen them in over 10yrs. Still doing the rounds I hear though I have no idea if it's still the same lineup.
