One of Ireland's most iconic rock stars will be celebrated at the Hot Press Covers Exhibition in the National Photographic Archive this weekend.

Long-time Lizzy aficionado Jimmy Coup will be doing an acoustic set at 1pm to start the afternoon and to mark what would have been his 68th birthday.

Following this - fresh from headlining The Dublin Quays Festival on Saturday - folk-rock group Orchid Collective will be calling into the exhibition on Sunday to do a few Thin Lizzy / Phil Lynott covers.

The finally, we'll have a talk from Hot Press' very own Commissioning Editor Roisin Dwyer, who will be discussing Lynott's relationship with the magazine.


Both of these events will be completely free and will allow you to explore our wonderful gallery, with 40 years worth of signed Hot Press covers on display.
