Today, 25 years ago in april 1996, I stood outside that house and suddenly Philomena came out and invited us to her Philo museum. We had an unforgettable afternoon in her house with many fabulous stories about her beloved son. One of my highlights.
Phylis told me funny story.. She said 2 oriental young chaps came up to her door.. She opened the door and said come in, come in. One of them handed her a piece of paper with something written on it? She ushered them into the Philo room, gold discs and portraits on every wall plus philos jukebox in the corner.. Phylis then looked at the piece of paper! Then she cracked out laughing as she told me... She said they were only coming to ask if I wanted my windows cleaning.. She said they had never fookin heard of Philip!!! 😂🤣🤔🤪 She was an amazing woman. X❤️X
What a lovely lady never met her growing up in the 70s thin lizzy was something else just loved the band I look back there music still sounds fresh today I play thin lizzy in my car and I'm that boy again great just great
My wife and I went to white horses in 2005 with friends of phylis and we became friends with her..we accompanied her on a few charity events in England and had some fab times in her company..she was kind,loving,generous,funny,and honest..she insisted on comming to our house in chesterfield and having a cup of tea on one occasion. ..she loved and missed Philip desperately. I just pray that they are reunited again now.❤♠🎸RIP PHILO AND PHILOMENA XX
I knew Phil and his mother from my childhood. They lived around the corner from my Grandparents house in Dublin, Crumlin. Such a lovely woman and very modest She would let everyone in the house if you were bold enough to knock on the door.
@@kevinbergin2833 I left school in 76..i hated the place! Suddenly I was working, earning money, drinking, smoking and chasing after girls.. I felt like my life had finally begun.. I bought the jailbreak album, and it blew my socks off.. I followed Lizzys every move and bought the whole back catalogue of albums.. I met a girl through the music and we married in 83..we are still together and happy with 2 kids and 5 grown up grand children. I owe so much to Philo and the boys.. I cried openiy for Phil ang also for Gary.. I have been blessed in my life and I will be forever grateful for the music.. X❤️X ♠️🎶🎸
I visited Mrs Lynott and her fiance Dennis, back in 1997. She invited me and my girlfriend in for tea, and she showed me Phils room, like in this video, I saw all this stuff from Lizzys career, It was and still is the highlight of my musical life. Philomena was so kind and helpful, we talked for hours about our lives, about Phil and Thin Lizzy of course, it was really a very special moment in my life. I still have a video (VHS) from that moment. RIP Philomena and Phil. Say hi to Gary Moore from me. God Bless you!
I met Mrs Lynott in a Youth Reach in inner city Dublin back in about 2002. She'd go around talking to kids about Phil & how drugs killed him when he had it all. I had to explain to the kids who Phil was & about Thin Lizzy etc... Sound woman
Dude was destined to do great things from the moment he was conceived. Such a pity that he went out like so many other rock Gods? A candle that burns twice as bright…….

Still sorely missed. Lucky enough to meet him once. He rocked and had charisma in every pore.

Great experience
Sweet Philomena. R.I.P. R.I.P. to Phil.
I think she was loved as much as her son..

She was a lady
I was petrified in Phil’s house and wanted to ask her if the jukebox still worked and I didn’t 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Phil never did that stupid devil sign that you guys keep doing.
I would have thought his mother knew if he did
@@keviffr What’s she going to say, stop doing it? Of course not.
@@thefonzkiss sure we will never know for sure now, we cant ask her
And he didn't write I don't want to know about evil but I'm sure he must have heard it.
I have that print myself in a frame , its worth 400 quid. Amazing woman .

What is on the juke box? Does it still work ?
Strange place is it Cyprus Avenue ?
Philomena house

Yes
Did our kid kip in Rathmines?
Is that Phil's mom?
Yes Philomena RIP
