As a Lizzy fan since the 70s, I can assure you Lizzy wasn't just about Ireland. Phil was actually born in England to an Irish mother, Brian Robertson: Scottish, Scott Gorham: English, Snowy White: English, John Sykes: English, Darren Warton: English etc. Lizzy were the best band ever but they weren't the product if Ireland alone. It was a melting pot of creativity.
