Thin Lizzy’s manager said he contacted An Post telling them 2019 did not mark the 50th anniversary of the band – as they launched in 1970 – but “they went ahead anyway” with commemorative stamps (above)
Old rockers will give a loud cheer
Now that stamps of Thin Lizzy appear
And while this is great
Take a look at the date
It seems An Post got the wrong year

Concert in GPO Dublin to launch stamps in honour of the iconic Irish rock band Thin Lizzy and its lead artist Phil Lynott. Stamps based on art work by the great Jim Fitzpatrick. Congratulations to @Postvox on two beautiful stamps. pic.twitter.com/3fXq5speOp

Last night.
GPO, O’Connell Street, Dublin 1.
It doesn’t say 50th anniversary on them anywhere so who cares.
They’re cool stamps – everyone just calm down.
