In the years since Rory Gallagher’s sudden death, aged 47 on June 14, 1995, his true stature has become bigger than ever and relevant in the music universe. Rory was a self-taught virtuoso who forged a musical revolution, shunned the traps of fame and stardom yet became a universally acclaimed international superstar and an inspiration to many.
Rory performed over two thousand concerts throughout his illustrious music career but the emotive connection he made with audiences across the globe was greater than statistics could show. The fire in his fingertips was the thrilling result of hard work and dexterity, tireless energy, and dynamic drive.
Rory’s influence spread through the generations – from Slash to Johnny Marr, from U2’s The Edge to Queen’s Brian May, and The Manic Street Preachers’ James Dean Bradfield – any aspiring player who encountered him was bound to be energized or transformed by the power of the guitar.
