This 0 Euro note is dedicated to the Irish Rock Legend Phil Lynott, the lead singer and bassist of the rock band Thin Lizzy. Although born in England, he grew up in Dublin where he formed the band in 1969. They became known for their blues-inspired hard rock sound and for Lynott’s distinctive voice and charismatic stage presence. He was an accomplished lyricist whose hits included such well-known sounds as “The Boys Are Back in Town” and “Whiskey in the Jar.” A pioneer of the heavy metal genre, he was a major influence on many later musicians.
