They had a very unique sound" Thin Lizzy broke up in 1983.
**Philomena
Lynott, mother of frontman Phil Lynott was a guest of honour at the special concert and took part in a show on BBC Radio
Ulster** whilst in the city. She campaigns against drug abuse following the death of her son, who died of heart failure, aged
34, in a Wiltshire clinic in January 1986 after years of battling drug addiction. Ms Lynott said "Philip loved Belfast - he absolutely loved it - and as a matter of fact, so do I,' and continued: "I try to tell young people the dangers of drugs - because the drugs killed him. He told all his friends not to let me know, and I used to say to Philip: 'Please never take heavy drugs. The drugs are a killer and they are out there.
They are in our schools - they are trapping our kids. If I can stop one mother going through what I went through, then I can go to my grave happy."
Fans around the world have raised money for a statue of Phil to be erected in Dublin's Grafton Street later this year.
