yeah I know, a bit lame, I'm not even much of a fan but today I was explaining to a Ed Sheeran fan that though Gray was middle of the road and not that great he is still ten times better than Ed Sheeran. music is subjective. however in this case it's fact.
I'm sure you London based groovy hipsters have all been into them for years but I've only recently discovered Public Service Broadcasting and The Race For Space. Terrific stuff.
Been spending the day watching this wonderful tribute to the late Rory Gallagher...... Ghost Blues. If you ever saw Rory, you knew what a great guitarist he was, and an even better human being. He was generous to any fan, and shunned the popularity, and the rock and roll lifestyle.
If he was alive today, I am sure he would still be playing the blues, even if it was at the local pub/bar back in Ireland.
A friend of mine is playing in a concert in Chiselhurst, (Thursday 21st May Beaverwood) and essentially celebrating the man's music in a couple of weeks. That is before he goes to Ireland that holds the three day music festival at his home town in Ballyshannon, and play at several of the gigs there. Rory died on the 14th June 1995, and here we are 20 years later celebrating his music.
As it says on the website." With selections from all Rory’s albums and incarnations, Sinnerboy never fail to give 100% commitment. Set includes: Shadow Play, Big Guns, Bullfrog Blues, What's Goin On, Tatoo's Lady, Continental Op, Million Miles Away, Tatoo'd Lady, Walk On Hot Coals, Do You Read Me, Going To My Home Town".
...It is a hard act to follow in the footsteps of Rory, but Barry has a love for the man and the music, and at the end of the day the music is what is is all about. Nobody ever came out short changed from a Rory concert that is for sure...........
