Belt It Out, Dizzy Lizzy (5 Minute Freewrite)

in freewrite •  7 years ago 

Prompt: Belt

My best wishes go out to @arbitrarykitten. It is her encouragement that started me on my freewrite journey.


Here is my story for today.

Belt It Out, Dizzy Lizzy

That is banging. Belt it out a bit more! As loud as you like!

It is beautiful music and very loud. Thin Lizzy are a long time gone, Phil Lynott tragically succumbing to an overdose of drugs. But his memory is alive. I'm watching a tribute band called Dizzy Lizzy.

The singer looks like Phil Lynott. He wears all the gear, including a studded belt. He also sings and plays bass exactly like the great man. Classic songs perfectly executed. The guitar playing by the other members of the group is sublime.

We meet them after. But they're not from Ireland. They are from Birmingham, England.

It was near my birthday. The music has to finish by midnight, but the bar is open until 3. That is dangerous. We may be old, but we know how to live young (until the next morning).

Slippery nipples are on us. If you are wondering what that is, it is a shot drink with Sambuca and Baileys.

Nice.

I can't remember the rest of the story, apart from the fact that they are really great guys and we had a whole lot of fun. I'm sure the boys will be back in town again.

"Slippery nipples" would be also perfect for a band.. if I will ever exhume my guitar out from her case, that's the name! Cool freewrite Neil 👍😎

Hahaha, brilliant. Bring out the guitar, I'll sing the tunes. 😎

That sounds like an awesome time! I really love live bands. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself!

It was the great thing about being in UK. Loads of great bands playing in pubs and clubs.

Hopefully Jeff and I will be going to Ireland, I am looking forward to that. Is that the case in Ireland as well?

I've never been there, but I imagine there'll be plenty of entertainment. Enjoy.

We shall see! It's just in the planning stage while I wait for my passport to come through. Thank you!

Count me in for the bash - and especially one of those drinks (slippery nipples haha). It's been a long, long time since I went to these gigs. You bring back memories!! Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't live in the UK now. If I had the chance, I'd go to the bike festival in May in my home town. That is a wild weekend. 😎

Nothing like a 'live' band or a 'live' concert; coming from a background of working on concerts, I do miss those days... Cheers! :)

This was a story from 2014. I have since moved to Dubai. My life is more settled now, but I miss the UK for the music more than anything. Some great local bands too.

Be prepared to drink lots then. 😀

hahaha . Well said

Thank you. I'm going to take my foot off the Steemit gas to concentrate on work matters. Freewrite stories will return soon. :-)
