Philomena Lynott for Galway this weekend

Philomena Lynott is set to continue her nationwide tour in support of best-selling book My Boy - The True Story Of Philip Lynott And The Family He Never Knew, at Easons of Shop Street, Galway this Saturday July 16 from 12 noon.

The book, co-authored by Hot Press' Jackie Hayden, recently spent six weeks in the number one spot in the Non-Fiction Paperback Irish book chart. Huge crowds have turned out for Philomena's previous signings in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford, Kilkenny and Wexford.

Over fifteen years after the publication of the original My Boy, Philomena Lynott now tells an even more astonishing story in new and updated account. For the first time ever, she gives the astounding, true story of Philip Lynott and the brother and sister he never knew.

Acclaimed playwright Frank McGuinness said of the book, “This wonderful testimony of the bond between mother and son, My Boy knows Phil Lynott in ways no one else could, his strengths, his secrets and his sorrows. A book to move your heart and touch your soul, like the best of Phil’s music.”
