Live and dangerous - and on stage in Stockton.


Explosive tribute band Limehouse Lizzy are set for a gig at ARC next week in an action packed show that promises pyro fuelled explosions of noise.


In the topsy-turvy world of rock ‘n’ roll, genuinely groundbreaking bands are a surprisingly hard thing to find… but, back in the hairy, flared 1970s, Thin Lizzy were a bona fide one-off.


Their unique brand of ear-bending hard rock and romantic Celtic folk made them superstars - beloved of metal heads, sneering punks and pop fans alike.


Limehouse Lizzy’s March 8 show will be a touching tribute to the legacy of Phil Lynott and the boys.


From The Boys are Back in Town and Jailbreak to the tender lyricism of Sarah and Whisky in the Jar, this is a full-blown celebration of Thin Lizzy’s genius.


They’ve been featured by BBC2’s arts showcase Arena, they’ve played gigs all over Europe, and they’ve even received a Performing Rights Society award for being one of the UK’s hardest-working bands.


All plaudits for a band whose frontman Wayne Ellis exudes all the charisma and effortless musicianship that made Lynott such an enduring star.


Limehouse Lizzy, 8pm, March 8, 2014, ARC, Stockton, tickets from £14.50.
