@@TheSebasdesign...I'm Irish but pardon the pun..Whiskey. Liver damage. Later days even though he had money would sit and play on street but took sick an was to late to save. Sad end to a legend.
Been a Rory fan all my life and visiting his grave was something I had and wanted to do i have paid my respects to the greatest guitar player of all time not only was he was the best he was a beautiful human being as well Mark Feltham said Rory was an angel of a man rip Rory we love and miss you
I understand why you got emotional, he had a great influence on me as well.. Going to my hometown was the reason i started playing the mandolin and Irish folk music. I'm visiting his grave in October. :)
Have fond memories watching Rory and his band playing the ll Rondo in Leicester in the day many times! fantastic nights, and still listening to him to this day. I also remember being at a gig and it was announced he had passes away all so very sad then and still is...RIP RORY...
Thanks for the video. I'll most likely never make it there so appreciate the time you shared. It struck me while you were showing the surrounding land how much of the world he saw, and filled places with great music and energy to be at this peaceful, silent place. He left us with so much of himself and was an inspiration to so many he'll never be forgotten.
Thanks Dusty. Yes it was a while ago now but I still remember walking all the way there from Cork and back again. It was a Sunday, no buses!! Sore feet after but amazing experience
Thank you for sharing your personal visit and comments. The video brings out Mr. Gallagher's resting place. Seems so peaceful and fitting for such a great guitarist and man.
I cried with a heavy heart 😪 watching this video. thank you for the words and the simple and beautiful tribute of the magnificent Rory Gallagher 😪🙏🌹💖 🌹 Rest in peace. Forever in my heart Rory. Thanks 🙏🌹
Ace, I came upon your touching visit to Rory's grave early this morning & I too have free-flowing tears for our loss of this gentle soul. Wish I could be buried in his presence myself Thanks for sharing your tribute to our Rory. I think he would like the fact that little birds were singing for us as we were paying our respects.
I live in Suffolk, England but I visited Rory's grave on the anniversary of his death from 1996 until 2000, by which time it was becoming a bit too popular. I thought it was great that more and more people were marking his passing but by then I felt that I'd rather remember him by watching him in concert on video or whatever. I've promised myself I will revisit his grave at least once more though.
Interviewed him in Cork, 1983 - a gentleman. That grave is a fucking disgrace. His brother Donal showed up to the interview, all business. He might show up to his brother's grave once a year and tidy it up. Or at least make his name legible.
Hendricks was asked what it was like to be the greatest guitarist in the world. He replied you better go and ask Rory Gallagher and ask him. RIP Rory best of the best 🤘🏴
R.I.P music legend!!!!!!!; He, Phil Lynott and Gary Moore were the best of Irish Rock musicians. I've been to Phil Lynotts Grave there is a video of me on my RU-vid channel of me visiting it.
thank you. i feel humbled. is the head stone depicting a setting sun? Does anyone know? bless Mr Gallagher. His music and performances made me feel gut wrenching heartache and emotion. He and his guitar ... a pure love story.
Exciting video but sin the state of neglect of his tomb, the name is not read well. I think the record company should spend a very small part of the money they earned to get new flowers at least once a week. Rory will remain in our hearts but his memory on earth should be more cultivated, R.I.P. Gary
I grew up in Cork in the 1970’s. Rory was our hero. His gigs in the City Hall each Christmas immortalised in Irish Tour’74 and in Tony Palmers eponymous film. His grave in St. Oliver’s in Ballincollig Near Cork is literally yards from my parents’ graves. Every time I visit, there are little gifts and momentous left by fans from all over the world. Rory was an incredible guitar player and a special man. Like all his devoted fans, I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news of his death at just 47 - the day the music died. RIP Rory .
I just went there today it looks different now there's houses around it now!!!! I just uploaded my video of visiting his grave!!!!!! R.I.P Rory Gallagher I also have a video of me visiting the grave of Phil Lynott the lead singer and bassist of Thin Lizzy and singer Mic Christopher.
Thanks Eoin, awesome video!! Cheers man, just watched some Rory on RU-vid. This brings back all those memories of that day I went there, walked all the way from Cork and back again!! Sore feet but worth it, thanks mate
Millions of miles away me bollox…….he’s been here with us all the time!………….This kid never messes about . Blues it or shut it !…….🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪 we love him and always will. The big G
