May_Booker_Thin_Lizzy

If you ever needed another reason to love dear Phil Lynott then just watch this short clip from Jim’ll Fix It – Jimmy Savile’s classic dreams-come-true TV series – from 1982, in which 70-year-old grandmother, May Booker wrote to Sir Jim asking if he could fix it for her to play keyboards with her favorite band – Thin Lizzy. And you can guess what happened next.

May is rather good, and she has a fun time with Phil – who is such a delightful charmer.
