Screening of Phil Lynott documentary Songs for While I'm Away to take place in Dublin this week

A special tribute screening of Phil Lynott documentary Songs for While I’m Away is taking place in Herbert Park, Dublin on August 30 at 6:30pm.

Directed by Emer Reynolds, the film celebrates the life and music of the iconic Thin Lizzy frontman, who would have turned 75 this year.

Before the screening, there will pre-show conversation with broadcaster Donal Dineen, Reynolds and other special guests, who’ll be sharing their insights into the documentary and Lynott's legacy.

Alcohol-free food and refreshments will be available on the night, with organisers adding that those attending are welcome to bring chairs, mats or cushions.

To mark what would've been Philip Lynott's 75th birthday, Hot Press revisited Peter Murphy's reflections on the Irish music icon's phenomenal work and legacy earlier this month. Featuring contributions from Bob Geldof, Glen Hansard and The Cranberries' Noel Hogan – you can read the full feature on hotpress.com now.

Tickets to the Herbert Park screening of Songs for While I'm Away start from €10 excluding VAT, and are available now via this link.
