The Boys are Back in Town

Shane Supple interviews Billy Lane & Tony Hennessey

Well today I had the pleasure of interviewing two very unlikely music stars. Billy Lane and Tony Hennessey, who, without meaning to, have had their faces splashed across tv screens on SKY tv and had their faces appear on thousands of music shops across the world.


The reason why, well it was quite simple, a photo taken by Youghal's own Mick Hussey, of  a group of Youghal 'Thin Lizzy' fans pictured outside the City Hall, Cork, way back on Sunday April 13th 1980 on their "Live & Dangerous" World Tour featuring the following suspects. Gene Twomey, Kieran'Gish' Broderick, Paul Moylan, Billy Broderick, Billy Lane, Michael 'Kirby' Kearns', Kieran Maher, Tom O'Brien, Tony Hennessy, Paul Fitzgerald, Brian Murphy and Brendan Douglas.

Thirty two years later they feature on the front cover of a rock compilation album called The Boys Are Back In Town.... more info here on that.

Thanks to Mick Hussy from YoughalOnline.com for making Youghal and some of its son's local heros and the envy of many a young rock star and male model the world over.

Listen to the interview here.
