A Lifelong Bond and Musical Partnership

My friendship with Phil Lynott began in London, where we spent countless hours together. His influence led me to move to Ireland, and together, we embarked on new musical ventures. Gus Isidore, whom I introduced to Phil, joined us to form the group black-male.

We toured Europe, enjoying the camaraderie and the thrill of creating music together. During this time, I also contributed bass to two of Phil’s solo albums: Solo In Soho and The Philip Lynott Album. Despite Phil’s own exceptional bass skills,he insisted on my involvement.

Our collaboration extended beyond our own projects, as we produced and recorded music for up-and-coming bands and artists.

In 2020, the documentary film Songs For While I’m Away chronicled Phil Lynott’s life and career. The film featured interviews with Lynott himself, as well as his bandmates, family, and fellow musicians like Midge Ure, James Hetfield,Adam Clayton, and me.
