Lead singer of thin lizzy biography
He came up with the band name "Them" (from the 1954 sci-fi film Them!),[1] but as he was a minor his parents declined to sign a recording contract on his behalf and he was replaced in July 1964 prior to recording with the band.
By August 1965, he had completed his studies and very briefly returned to Them.[2]
Wrixon was next a member of Belfast R&B group The People and probably played on the two tracks they contributed to the February 1966 compilation album Ireland's Greatest Sounds: Five Top Groups From Belfast's Maritime Club (both tracks featured keyboards).
