  • The question for this comp is "Who was Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes’ father-in-law?". The options are, Larry Grayson, Leslie Crowther & Jimmy Tarbuck.
    I am pretty sure it was Phil Lynett who was married to Leslie Crowther's daughter. If anyone can confirm or deny I would be grateful.

    You are correct... :beer: I've just done a wiki search...

    In 1980, he married Caroline Crowther, the daughter of British comedian Leslie Crowther

    I think the question is wrong ,John Sykes doesnt have a father in law named in the options mentioned. Phil Lynots father in law(as previously mentioned) was Leslie Crowther.Very confusing!
