• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

So what are you listening to at the moment?

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. A bass player that I played with in a band’s brother supported him in Leas 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. ;)

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

Can’t recall the actual year Chris but late 80s or possibly early 90s from memory. He’d just done some big biker festival down that way the night before.

Edit I love the Internet. Had a look and found it. Blimey 30 years ago - seems like yesterday.
