Brian Downey, known to millions of rock fans as the original drummer of Thin Lizzy, will perform a rare concert at Nells Jazz & Blues in London on Friday 24th November with his new band Brian Downey\u2019s ALIVE AND DANGEROUS, who will perform a 40th anniversary concert of one of the greatest live rock and roll albums of all time \u2013 Thin Lizzy\u2019s \u201cLive and Dangerous\u201d. Tickets go on sale from 12 noon on Friday 18th August from www.seetickets.com and the 24 Hour Box Office 0871 220 0260.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To mark this rare, one-off London show, Downey\u2019s band features Brian Grace (best known as the guitarist for the Commitments\u2019 Andrew Strong), and former Low Rider members Matt Wilson (lead vocals, bass) and Phil Edgar (lead guitar).<\/p>\n
2018 celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Thin Lizzy\u2019s Live and Dangerous album.\u00a0 Although the album was recorded live in 1977 at London\u2019s Hammersmith Apollo and Toronto\u2019s Seneca College, it wasn\u2019t officially released until a year later in 1978.<\/p>\n
Says Brian, \u201cAfter the Thin Lizzy reunion shows finished in 2013, I was asked to join, what turned out to be Black Star Riders, but it just didn\u2019t feel right for me.\u00a0 In January 2016, following an appearance at the Vibe For Philo in Dublin, I approached Brian Grace and that\u2019s when we discussed getting a band together. After a few rehearsals, Brian suggested that we rehearse with Matt Wilson (lead vocals, bass) and Phil Edgar (guitar), both of whom had been in a band called The Low Riders (their name was taken from a lyric from the Thin Lizzy song Johnny The Fox).\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn January 2017, we jammed together at the Vibe For Philo, and it went so well, that we decided to form Brian Downey\u2019s ALIVE AND DANGEROUS and make it a full time proposition.\u201d<\/p>\n
