Phil Lynott fans will be delighted to hear that the Phil Lynott movie, ‘Songs for While I’m Away’ will finally be hitting Irish cinemas on Friday the 11th June.<\/p>\n
After several delays brought about by COVID-19 restrictions, with cinemas back open, and the country beginning to open, even more, we’re so excited to see this new film about the life of one of Ireland, and Dublin’s most legendary musicians. The film is directed by Emmy award-nominated, and multi-award-winning Emer Reynolds, who directed The Farthest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
PHIL LYNOTT: SONGS FOR WHILE I\u2019M AWAY is a feature documentary on the life and music of Phil Lynott, telling the story of how a young black boy from working-class 1950’s Dublin, became Ireland’s greatest Rock Star.

Told extensively through the words of Phil himself and focusing on some of his iconic songs, the film gets to the heart of Philip, the father, the husband, the friend, the son, the rock icon, the poet, and the dreamer.<\/p>\n
PHIL LYNOTT: SONGS FOR WHILE I\u2019M AWAY is a Globe Production in association with F\u00eds \u00c9ireann\/ Screen Ireland. It is produced by Alan Maher and John Wallace for Cowtown Pictures and Peter Worsley for Eagle Rock Films and directed by Emer
