Joining Thin Lizzy in 1980, Darren Wharton added a new sonic layer to the band's tapestry. Featuring on studio albums including 'Chinatown', and 'Thunder and Lightning', he's named his Lizzy tribute act after their 1981 set 'Renegade'. The band are now set to headline a special concert in Dublin remembering forty years since Phil Lynott's passing, for what promises to be a very special event. "It's going to be a hell of a night", he enthuses, as we settle in for a chat. We caught up with Darren to talk about the show, his Thin Lizzy memories, and the highs and lows of post-Lizzy project Dare. Cold sweat; Eamon O'Neill.

The term 'supergroup' is all too freely bandied about, but in a band where its members have been involved in such towering releases as 'Automatic For The People', 'Songs For The Deaf', and the self-titled albums by Screaming Trees and Mad Season, Drink the Sea are truly worthy of the moniker. Coming together with a focus on song writing, they've released not one, but two albums ahead of their debut tour. "It was just this very natural, organic process of recording songs with some of my favourite people that also happened to be incredible musicians", says mastermind Barrett Martin casually, as we sit down for a chat. We caught up with Barret, and bandmates Peter Buck, Alain Johannes, and Duke Garwood to talk about the project, their pasts, and what lies ahead. Meteors; Eamon O'Neill.
