Newly appointed lead singer of Thin Lizzy and singer songwriter Ricky Warwick has joined forces with Snow patrol‟s Nathan Connolly to release a new double A Side single: "The Whiskey Song‟ / "The Star of The County Down".
The Whiskey Song is a true “fist in the air" anthem studio track . The brand new song features Nathan Connolly from Snow Patrol on lead guitar, and was engineered and produced by Chris McCormack from 3 Colours Red, Gary Numan and mixed by Rock Producer Terry Thomas. The B side is a –
some may say long over due - rock rendition of the traditional Irish The Star of The County Down which Warwick
recorded in Tel Aviv recently with acclaimed singer songwriter and producer Izhar Ashdot.

Ricky commented “I’ve always felt that Belfast almost thrived on adversity, the more the city endured the stronger it became. When I was growing up, the pubs around the shipyard in the east of the town were always filled with hard working, hard drinking artisans who sought solace
in a pint and a whiskey chaser at the end of a hard day’s graft.

“The heavy industry that surrounded the River Lagan was powered by men who took their strength from the ginger Feckin Whiskey lady, and the honest toil of a long suffering people.
“Belfast has survived and prospered and I always look forward to going back home with new songs that reflect the great memories.”
