Donal Gallagher interview (Rory’s brother)

It's a very special interview I propose you in this show because you might not know that but I am a big fan of Rory Gallagher who died in 1995 so I jumped on the occasion to interview Rory's brother, Donal, who followed him a lot on the road and who his taking care of Rory's legacy now.

In this interview Donal tells the whole story about how Rory almost joined the Rolling Stones after Mick Taylor quit in 1974. You will hear this and many more about Rory's music.

And who is the guitar player has NOT fantasized about Rory's battered 61 Stratocaster?

All Rory's albums are currently rereleased on CD so it's the perfect time to (re)discover the music of this great guitar player who disappeared way to soon.
