Rory was a wonderful person and musician. Million Miles Away still gives me goosebumps. And Maria Doyle has a lovely accent. I really enjoyed this interview, thanks.
Last part of my research he also found success with solo career releasing music throught 1960 s and 1980s and selling more than 30 milion records worldwide.he voted as juitartist of year of medlody maker magazine in 1972 , listed as 57 greatest guitarist of all time by rolling stone magazine. In 1997 tribute sculpture to Gallagher in his hometown of cork. The sculpture Geraldine creedon was childhood friend of him . In 2004 Rory Gallagher music library was opened in cork . In 2016 approved was given to put up statue of Gallagher in Bedford street near visitor hall in Belfast. Thank you for giving us chance to read learn new information. You are as guide tourists for all people around. Best wishes for you your family friends.
It would be great to hear some of Rory's recorded and rejected recordings, they would be far superior to many other people's music, Rory was a hard Rocking, Blues, Folk, Cajun, Country, and Celtic music man, He could rip up and burn any stage he walked on to, if you don't believe me then ask Jimi· Hendrix. No other great band could quite touch the brilliance of Rory Gallager & Thin Lizzy, they were the greatest of all time, I know I was very lucky I got to see Rory and his band also Thin Lizzy many times but not enough times
Thank sir for wonderful cultural documentary channel about Ireland. You are as foreigners subscribers. We appreciate your great efforts as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well. I learned from previous videos about cities of Ireland such as cork and blarney. Irish accents . Harp is symbol of Ireland. I just read right now about Irish music it’s still popular till nowadays. During time of great famine of 1845 that vast numbers emigrated mostly to USA bringing music with them . In year 1920 Irish music had revival in USA . Famous Irish figure you showed us is Rory Gallagher ( 1949- 1995) he was Irish guartist , singer , song writer . He formed blue rock power trio tast which experienced some moderate success in Uk.
Mighty man, great album...takes Irish rebel music into new dimensions via blues and rock'n'roll as they were before the excellenct pop music of the '60s got hijacked by the corporate greasy till and mutated into the adolescent pap muzak that needs an elevator to complete its utility as torture chamber accompaniment. Himself and Philo got eclipsed by the media groupies autograph-hunting Bonehead's egotrip.
You can tell he was already sick here, even if he wasnt a heavy drug user, all the life on the road took its toll, the man basically giged non stop since he was a teenager till the day he died, he just stopped for a short time to record the albums, crazy
