We attended the must-visit ‘Heart and Soul: Portraits of Irish Musicians’ exhibition where Claire Guinan unveiled her new painting of Phil Lynott at the Irish Rock N Roll Museum Experience in Dublin. Hot Press editor Niall Stokes praised how the artist captured Thin Lizzy front man’s vulnerability with her art during the opening of an evening where the late Philomena Lynott was deeply missed.
