The composition of the band changed regularly over the years. In addition to frontman Phil Lynott singer/bassist most notable members were Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham. Gary Moore played guitar on some songs, but his role in the band was not very large. Characteristic of the Group was the establishment in which two lead guitarists were central.
