Re-formed Group Originally Fronted by Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott! 2024 Album on Vinyl LP!
Grand Slam (or Phil Lynott's Grand Slam) are a British (originally Irish) rock band originally formed in 1984 by Phil Lynott (lead vocals and bass guitar), after the breakup of his earlier ensemble Thin Lizzy. Grand Slam was active for a year, and Lynott died in 1986, but the band was revived in 2016 by original members Mark Stanway & Laurence Archer.
In 2016, Mark Stanway reformed Grand Slam together with Laurence Archer, drummer Micky Barker (ex Magnum), bassist Neil Murray (ex Whitesnake, Black Sabbath etc.) and vocalist Stefan Berggren (ex M3 Classic Whitesnake). This line-up made appearances at the Sweden Rock Festival and the Robin 2, Bilston.
In 2018, Laurence Archer with Mike Dyer, Dave Boyce and Benjy Reid recorded a new Grand Slam studio album at VADA Recording studios with producer Matt Terry, reworking 3 of the original Grand slam material written by Phil Lynott, Laurence Archer and Mark Stanway. along with new material written by Laurence Archer in collaboration with Mike Dyer, David Boyce and Benjy Reid. The album was released as Hit the Ground in November 2019. Mark Stanway did not feature in the line-up but contributed keyboards to three of the ten tracks.
Grand Slam return to continue unfinished business. Grand Slam's 2024 album, Wheel of Fortune, is set for release via Silver Lining Music. The four-piece band formed in 1984 by Phil Lynott and guitarist Laurence Archer before being forced to break up in 1986, have finally formed the appropriate return with a top-drawer of hard rocking songs which resonate with clear and present verve and energy. Wheel of Fortune is the fully realized modern Grand Slam sound, striding confidently back into the conscience of classic rock devotees who didn't know what they were missing. There are no more shoes to fill only boots being worn on the ground, with Dyer's style and swagger at the forefront of spirited leaders such as "There Goes My Heart," while Archer's fiery fretboard forays on the likes of the riffy "Spitfire" are a vital part of the Grand Slam architecture. With the lock-solid rhythm section of Newton and Reid underpinning affairs, Grand Slam not only stand on their own eight feet, they're also able to directly engage with their talismanic, legendary founding energy with "Come Together (In Harlem)," a moody, strutter of a song from the Phil Lynott days with (mostly) Phil Lynott's lyrics. But make absolutely no mistake: Grand Slam are not a band returning from their past, but a band firing intentions regarding their future, as the epic, multi-layered, steamy swing of "Pirate Song" suggests… Let the music do the talking.
