On this day, 15 June 1980, Irish rockers Thin Lizzy played Cardiff’s Sophia Gardens on their Chinatown Tour.
Chinatown was the tenth studio album Thin Lizzy, released in April 1980.
It introduced guitarist Snowy White who would also perform on the next album as well as tour with Thin Lizzy between 1980 and 1982; he replaced Gary Moore as permanent guitarist.
White had previously worked with Cliff Richard, Peter Green and Pink Floyd.
Chinatown also featured eighteen-year-old Darren Wharton on keyboards, and he joined Thin Lizzy as a permanent member later that year.
