Band of Friends: Celebration of Rory Gallagher

Rory Gallagher’s music reached a massive audience from Norway to Spain, from Japan to the USA, covering all parts of the globe and producing some of the greatest rock/blues albums of the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. Sadly, we lost Rory on June 14th, 1995. To his devoted fans and followers this was the ultimate tragedy.

Gerry Mcavoy (Bass Guitar) played with Rory for 20 years, because of this, has a great insight into the man and his music. Gerry played on every album Rory ever made and wrote a book about his career, published in 2005, called “Riding Shotgun.”

Ted McKenna (Drums) played with Rory from 1977 to 1981. He has played with numerous rock legends such as Greg Lake, Gary Moore and The Michael Schenker Group just to name a few, and has recorded some of the top albums of our time. Ted is a “rock drummer’s drummer.”

Davy Knowles is a Blues Rocker originally from the Isle Of Man and currently resides in Chicago, IL. He is best known for fronting his own Band, the Davy Knowles Band as well as being the Frontman for the popular blues rock band, Back Door Slam.
