The ground-breaking moment in rock when Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham broke the mould and perfected the twin-guitar phenomenon resonates today in the myriad of bands that have saluted that talent with their own version.

Robbo redefined the whole Lizzy sound and was a crucial part of it's phenomenal success and continuing popularity today. Robbo took 'Still In Love With You' and 'Don't Believe A Word' and transformed them into the rock classics they are now. 'The Boys Are Back In Town' because he was there!. Need we say any more??? Robbo's Vibe appearances have been seethingly hot faves with everyone. The 20th Vibe For Philo will build on that!

The Houseshakers (a.k.a. The Tuesday Night Band of Vibe 2005 fame!!!) feature a who's-who of veritable Irish rock legends.

Jimmy Faulkner is a homegrown favourite and played a famous hotel jam with Phil for the Irish Jailbreak album launch. This was also Eric Bell's final Lizzy gig - and the it all comes full-circle at Vibe 2006 when he will play with the Houseshakers. Noel Bridgeman, the band's drummer, also played with Philo and Gary Moore in the influential Skid Row.

The Southbound Band feature three ex-members of The Elite, who wowed audiences with their second-to-none Live & Dangerous tribute shows in the 1990's (in addition to a solid portfolio of hard rock originals).

Combining the exceptional guitar duo of Robbie Bray and Brian Grace with arguably the finest percussive machine in Ireland (ie. Eddie G.), The Southbound Band play for the love of it -and the 20th Vibe is no exception. Knucklehead frontman Paul Toal provides the vocal power and rhythm-miester Mick Burke completes the outfit on bass. The boys are honoured to be playing with Robbo and promise a show to knock your socks off!

Also promised on the Vibe stage is Jimmy Coup, (ex Andrew WK) - singer/axe-master with The Coup de Grace. Jimmy, will be singing some Lizzy classics with The Southbound Band.

Trad Lizzy and their inimitable frontman Barry James hail from Manchester and have been regular Vibers. They boast a unique angle on the whole Lizzy phenomenon - a traditional take on Philo's words and music.

Their involvement at the 20th Vibe promises some unique experiences - particularly for those travelling from farther afield. Not only will their main sets be rocking to a trad fiddle, they'll be putting a new slant on off-stage entertainment with a few more traditional tracks.

Cait O'Riordan's CV reads like a who's who for afficionados of the 'alternative' Irish rock music scene. A founding member and bassist with The Pogues and The Radiators, she's also an accomplished film actor.

We're delighted to welcome Cait to the 20th Vibe For Philo, where she'll be performing with members of Dublin band RoadHouse. Line-up is Cait O'Riordan - electric bass, Dave Schneider - acoustic guitar, Mark Sisk - electric guitar and Paul Brennan - drums.

The beginning for Glyder was an opportunity to play the Vibe in 2004 under the name Trouble Boys and then later that band became Hollywood. One Vibe later and a support slot with Sykes/Gorham Thin Lizzy the band eventually settled on Glyder as a name. In June Glyder recorded their debut album with legendary Thin Lizzy producer Chris Tsangarides.

The band will be launched internationally in March when the album is released worldwide. Label details will be announced on www.glydermusic.com in the coming weeks. Look forward to a tasty set from the boys getting rave reviews from all the right places!
