No

Phil Lynott ?

 

Yes, Philip Parris Lynott, leader of my
favourite band growing up.

Interesting reading about Gary Moore and Phil Lynott in Wikipedia . They were my sort of era and I'd met a few of the musicians mentioned but it all passed me by because at that time all I was interested in was jazz. ( RIP Chris Barber )
Anyway to continue the period theme

 

Chris Barber?

Oh, have we started yet?

 

We have indeed

 

This is the same guy a bit younger. Should help to get nationality. He was a sometime actor but much more famous as a writer
