Brian Downey's Alive And Dangerous - featuring guitarist Brian Grace, and former Low Rider members Matt Wilson (lead vocals, bass) and Phil Edgar (lead guitar) will be a real treat for Irish Rock fans with "Thin Lizzy" and Rory Gallagher Band consider by many to be the finest Rock Bands that Ireland has produced.
