Rory Gallagher
Born:
Rory Gallagher is the man who, without question, spearheaded and influenced the entire Irish rock movement. Remarkably, many years after his untimely passing in June 1995, Rory's music is as popular as ever with his legion on faithful followers. Rory's music was his religion. The conviction and sincerity with which he projected it have assured him a place in rock history and earnt him critical acclaim as one of the greatest torchbearers of driving, effusive rock and blues. The new album augments what we already knew about Rory and multiplies it by performances that show him in a whole new light. Born in 1948 in Ballyshannon and raised in Cork, Gallagher's rock 'n roll odyssey began at an early age when he saw Elvis Presley on TV and became inspired to get his first guitar

by Doug Collette
As serendipitous as was the confluence of circumstances that brought Davy Knowles and Jorma Kaukonen to The Essex Experience Summer Music Series, it was all the more providential that both men gave solo performances on two late summer night dates so close to each other. For the former, this first stop in Vermont since just prior ...

Rory Gallagher: All Around Man: Live In London
by Doug Collette
To the uninitiated, Rory Gallagher's All Around Man -Live in London may appear to be nothing more than a routine live release from the late Irish bluesman's archive. Even to fans who take only a cursory glance at the title and its contents, it could well seem to be a somewhat desultory effort in the wake ...
