Phil died on Jan 4th 1986 and Writer/Director and Animator Conor Ryan along with Art director, illustrator and compositor (and brother) Eoin Ryan have come up with this short film to commemorate Phil.
Conor was approached to make a film for a campaign about respecting music, called Music Matters. They said they had enough American artists in the series already and he was free to do a UK or Irish act. Conor teamed up with his brother Eoin and the got their selection down to Shane McGowan/The Pogues and Phil Lynott/Thin Lizzy. Ultimately the pair went for Phil and what a job they did of the video. Conor is a character Animator by trade and says of Phil - 'he's a great character to animate'. Eoin worked on developing the visual style while Conor worked on the script.
