I guess we have a bit of an age gap .................................. say 35 years or so!![]()
The very sadly missed Rory Gallagher.
Mine too. Seeing him when I was an 11 year-old in Belfast inspired me to take up playing.
One of my most fondly remembered nights was when I met him when a bass player that I played with in a band’s brother supported him in Lea Cliff Hall.
He was so friendly and humble and I even got to touch his Strat as he walked past me to the stage. I watched the gig from the wings.
It’s often said ‘To avoid disappointment never meet your heroes. But Rory blew that clean out of the water. A gent and a guitar genius.
I hope you've never washed that hand.![]()
More jangley indie shite from the 80

I've seen so many gigs at the Leas Cliff and never saw him - what year would it have been?
