Philomena Lynott (22 October 1930 – 12 June 2019) was an Irish author and entrepreneur. She was the mother of Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott, and her autobiography, My Boy, documents the relationship between her and her son. She was the proprietor of the Clifton Grange Hotel, Manchester, which provided accommodation for a number of bands in the 1970s including Thin Lizzy.

I first got in contact with her nearly 20 years ago when I wrote the song 'Ballad of a Thin Man' as a tribute to her son Philip Lynott. She absolutely loved the song and we had some great conversations over the phone and the old written letter in the post from time to time.
She told me that she was officially our bands number one fan in Ireland. Here she is proudly wearing her Pegazus girly top and a scarf my mum had also sent her.

I hope she is at peace now. Really going to miss this wonderful woman. Phyllis go be with your Boy Philip now...R.I.P.
