About Band of Friends - CANCELLED
When the Irish guitarist / vocalist passed away he left behind an eleven album catalogue of inspired music,and the memory of unforgettably energetic concerts.
Bassist Gerry McAvoy (Rory Gallagher/Nine Below zero/Champion Jack Dupree/Deep Joy) appeared on every one of these albums.
“It must have been around 2006 when I started listening to all my old vinyl, which I hadn’t listened to for years. Among these records were my Rory Gallagher albums. I played them constantly realising what great songs and what a great composer Rory really was. I wanted to take these songs and play them live,but I needed the right musicians.”
Here we are in 2020 with a new line up and a fresh approach touring extensively celebrating Rory’s 25th anniversary...
Gerry will be joined by Brendan O’Neill on drums who played with Rory and Gerry for 10 years 1981 – 1991, Recording “Jinx”, “Defender”, “Fresh evidence”. Brendan toured extensively with Rory travelling to USA, Japan, Australia and Europe.
Paul Rose
A guitar players guitar player. He has played with some of the top names in the business. He was picked by Rory out of 1000 young guitarists to win the Fender sponsored best guitarist competition.
Stephan Graf
Stephan has been playing with his own band Double vision, as a tribute to Rory. Stephan discovered Rory at a very early age. He really has the feel for Rory’s music.
