Irish Blues, killed by booze

How does it feel to be the greatest guitar player in the world?  I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher
                                                                  -Jimi Hendrix



Born in Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal and raised in Cork, Rory Gallagher's first band was Taste.  The above clip is from the Isle of Wight concert.



Walking on Hot Coals and burning down The Old Grey Whistle Test.  The band is...uh...holy smoke!



Rory also wreaked havoc on the mandolin!

Gallagher died in 1995 from complications following a liver transplant. He was 47.
