27th Vibe for Philo takes place in January
2013 is the year of The Gathering, but the Vibe for Philo has been doing that for over two decades as it brings supporters, like a leather clad clan Gathering from Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, Scandinavia, Britain, USA, Australia, Canada, Japan, and beyond, to honour one of Dublin's favourite sons.
Dublin's Bailey pub is more immediately associated with James Joyce, Brendan Behan, and Patrick Kavanagh than Rock and Roll. Yet it was here in 1981 that Phil Lynott asked long-time friend Smiley Bolger to 'do a vibe for me sometime.' Bolger, a DJ and Promoter, had just won the Alternative Eurovision Song Contest and Phil loved the idea.
The Vibe is more than just a Tribute Show. It has grown into a whole event only a part of which is the show itself. From Ex-Lizzies , through Def Leopard, Henry Rollins, to Gerry Fish, Sinead O'Connor, Maria Doyle-Kennedy, to Damien Dempsey -the list of past performers is impressive -. the interpretations of Philo's songs often stunning.
As the Vibe falls on a weekend were continuing with the tradition of a Young Rockers Matinee. That's an afternoon show with full production and no bar to showcase some amazing new talent along with headliners from the main event. Some past allumni from these shows are Damien Dempsey, Connor McGouran, and LeeAnne Harte. There are still a couple of slots open so who knows who might come out of it.
To top it all as a recession special were offering free admission to an after party with a ticket from the Main Event.
