Ricky Warwick has released a video for his track Schwaben Redoubt.
It features on the Black Star Riders and Thin Lizzy mainman’s recently released album When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues) and features Stiff Little Fingers’ Jake Burns on guest vocals.
Warwick says: “This is a song about a friendship found between two teenage lads from Ireland in a trench in northern France on the morning of the July 1, 1916 – 100 years ago this year.
“One from the north, one from the south, who would on any other day hate each others guts but today all they have is each other, a shared fear of death and a shared name – Schwaben Redoubt was the name of the German position they walked towards that morning – and into death.”
Thin Lizzy are about to kick off their string of European shows to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the death of frontman Phil Lynott and to celebrate 40 years since the release of their iconic Jailbreak album.
Warwick and his band The Fighting Hearts will head out on the road in November for a run of UK shows.
