When The Vipers lived in London we did our very best to not pay for drinks. We were fortunate to have toured with Thin Lizzy on the Black Rose tour. We were friendly with the band and managed to hang out at Phil Lynott’s stag night.
Phillip and the guys in Lizzy were there, along with Lemmy from Motorhead, Ali McMordie from Stiff Little Fingers, Mark Knopfler, and John Illsley from Dire Straits, and The Chieftains.
