Description Songs For While I'm Away is the story of how a young black boy from working class 1950's Dublin became Ireland's greatest rock star.

As lead singer of Thin Lizzy, Phil Lynott was a songwriter, a poet, a dreamer, and a wild man.

The film gets to the heart of Philip: the father, the husband, the friend, the son, the rock icon, the poet, and the dreamer.

Also included is Thin Lizzy's famed October 1978 concert at the Sydney Opera House with remixed audio and cleaned-up picture.
