Rory Gallagher Night

Rory Gallagher Night

Come join us for a night filled with the music of the legendary Rory Gallagher! 50 years ago Rory Gallagher played the Cork City Hall. This was a special gig for him, playing to a huge crowd in his hometown and it is the perfect venue for us to celebrate and honour his memory. He broke the mould, pushed the boundaries, influencing, and inspiring so many others. Rory’s uniqueness sets him apart from all the great musicians of the world and here in Cork we identify with him in total appreciation of his musical vocation.

I know the hall will be mostly filled with long time dedicated fans but there are many up and coming young musicians getting the same blast today as we did when we discovered him for the first time. What he has done for so many in a collective sense is HUGE. 4 acts will cover a range of tracks from a vast array of his albums. Each of the musicians are playing for FREE and feel honoured to play and dig in, to do Gallagher justice. Hot Guitars with Sean Long, Moonchild with Sam Healy, The Watermelons with Eoghan Regan, Tres Hombres with Brian Tambling, and Rory’s bass guitarist Gerry McAvoy. They are all going to help bring the Strat back to Rory’s hometown.

We are campaigning to be the keepers of his beloved Strat with the understanding and respect of how precious his legacy is. This is a fundraiser night and it is vital to boost momentum in the campaign. Tell all your friends, family, and neighbours. Let the influx of music lovers fill the magnificent hall. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to pay tribute to one of Ireland’s greatest musical talents!

The concert will be live streamed and you may join the link from anywhere in the world for free. Donations to the campaign are very welcome.
