Happy to pay tribute tonight to guitarist Rory Gallagher on 40th anniversary of Irish Tour 1974. I attended one of those concerts – in Cork.

Ireland’s ambassador to Britain, Daniel Mulhall marked the 40th anniversary of Rory Gallagher’s Irish Tour ’74 at an event at the embassy in London last night.
In related news, Crowley’s Music Store which closed last year and where Rory bought his iconic Fender Stratocaster (above) has reopened as Crowley’s Musician Centre in the Oliver Plunkett Bar, Cork.
Ferrero play though, in fairness.
