My best friend and I joined the Thin Lizzy fan club in 1979. OMG we worshipped that group and Phil Lynott was our idol! It cost,if I remember rightly,£2.50 a year,and on joining we each received photos,an info booklet,stickers and a couple of badges. But best of all was that we got told about upcoming tour dates before the general public were,so we were guaranteed good tickets. We first went to see them in 1980,then another 3 times (3 nights in a row) the following year,at the Hammersmith Odeon.
We're still the best of friends nearly 40 years on,and we from time to time we reminisce about our Lizzy days.
