Last weekend a new statue (there’s one in his hometown
of Ballyshannon too since 2010) of Irish guitar hero and
singer-songwriter RORY GALLAGHER was unveiled.
This June it’ll be 30 years since the genuine blues man passed away,
due to complications following a liver transplant. He was only 47.
In 1966 he formed a band called Taste. Four years later he went
solo. He released 11 albums and was an arousing live performer.
