In 1983, following the disbanding of Thin Lizzy, Lynott recorded a rock’n’roll medley single, “We Are the Boys (Who Make All the Noise)” with Roy Wood , Chas Hodges and John Coghlan . Lynott regularly collaborated with former bandmate Moore on tracks including the singles ” Parisienne Walkways ” (a No. 8 UK hit in 1979) and ” Out in the Fields ” (a No. 5 UK hit in 1985, his highest-charting single). In 1984, he formed a new band, Grand Slam , with Doish Nagle, Laurence Archer , Robbie Brennan and Mark Stanway . The band toured The Marquee and other clubs, but suffered from being labelled a poor version of Thin Lizzy owing to the inclusion of two lead guitar players, and split up at the end of the year due to a lack of money and Lynott’s increasing addiction to heroin.
