This performance is about a year before the Sandy Denny box set came out. Sad that Phil would die around the same time. More people need to know his and Sandy's music.
I know the scouse accent developed from Irish. But you can really hear it in phil, which is strange considering that he was born and raised in Ireland.
I won't have anything said against Sue Cook. She said what she was told to say and the band were quiet and respectful. Some commentators here need to remember this was 43 years ago. Times and attitudes were different.
Nationwide was actually a very interesting programme & I'm sure Sue Cook was not meaning to be rude or derogatory about Phil in any way. I think she might well have known Caroline & the Crowther family? I think Renagade is a fantastic album & doesn't deserve the bad impression some people have of it. Nationwide had a very wide variety of guests on it. I vividly remember Paul Weller being interviewed a year later in 82 just prior to the break up of The Jam, that is also on RU-vid. Interestingly The Jam actually supported Thin Lizzy once way back in1975!
Thank you for uploading. They all seem so humble and down to earth. I think if Brian Robertson stayed on (and Scott in later years), Thin Lizzy would have become the best band ever.
J’ai connu les pogues quand j’avais 14 ans et j’en ai 50 c’est bientôt. Je souhaite bon courage à tous les Irlandais je parle anglais, mais je préfère écrire en français parce que mon anglais n’est pas parfait
Ask stupid, borderline racist questions, get glib answers. Being brown and Irish is like being Italian and a chain smoker. The two things have been inseparable for hundreds of years.
