Am
Samstag, den 17.06.2006 brachte RTE einen kurzen Bericht über die Einweihung
der Statue in Dublin
(Bild anklicken und Nachricht sehen! ca. 2,2 MB)
Die Qualität ist nicht so besonders, da diese Nachrichten stark komprimiert online gestellt werden.
The Edge sagte in seiner Ansprache über Rory:
'A huge influence on my life.'
Edge has been speaking about Rory Gallagher at the unveiling of a statue to the legendary blues guitarist in Dublin.
'I always admired Rory as a musician
and was later lucky enough to call him a friend,' said Edge. 'He was a huge
influence on my life and his legacy will live on in hundreds of bands in this
country.
'He laid the road for everyone in music. It is an honour to be here and lay
tribute to the man and his work.'

Ein Fan (Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle an Andreas U. für die Info.) hat sich - nachdem im Juni bisher nicht wirklich was passiert ist - beim Heel-Verlag mal erkundigt, wann das Buch erscheinen wird. Er erhielt die Auskunft, dass es ca. Ende September werden wird.
Wir
stehen auch ständig in Kontakt mit dem Heel-Verlag und gehen denen schon
mächtig auf die Nerven, aber wir wollten diese Informationen noch einmal
genauer erfragen und haben auch noch einmal dort angerufen.
Wir haben auch keine genauere Auskunft erhalten, jedoch bereits wieder eine
kleine Abweichung. Das Buch käme im Spätherbst, Anfang Winter
heraus.
Also, liebe Fans. Das Motto scheint hier zu lauten: Geduld, Geduld, Geduld ......

Heute erreichte
uns die Nachricht, dass unsere schottische Freundin, Fiona Bell, den Kampf
gegen den Krebs leider verloren hat. Sie war ein leidenschaftlicher Rory-Fan,
hat Rory oft gesehen und auch viele Tributes besucht.
Als wir Sie das letzte Mal getroffen haben, zum Christmas Bash! in Cork im
Dezember 2005, war sie guter Dinge und wir haben ihr dann noch einen Schutzengel
geschenkt, den hat sie an ihr Bett gehängt .....
Nachtrag: Die Tribute-Konzerte bei Cork Rocks For Rory in diesem Jahr waren u.a. auch Fiona gewidmet. Eine schöne Geste, wie wir finden! (rorysfriends, 16.06.2006)

Steve
verlässt SINNERBOY! 
Steve Richardson
und seine Frau Julie
.... News von der offiziellen HP von SINNERBOY:
"It is with great
sadness that I must announce Steve Richardson's departure from Sinnerboy.
As a founder member of the band Steve (and his lovely wife Julie) will be
sorely missed and I'm sure you will join us in wishing him every happiness
for the future.
Steve will be playing on all gigs until the end of our Irish tour finishing
in Dundalk on June 18th (Where there maybe a guinness or two consumed!) so
come along to your nearest venue and give him a rousing send off.
I will announce Steve's replacement in due course.
Barry"
Wir bedauern sehr, dass Steve aufhört. Gründe hierfür sind uns bisher nicht bekannt. Wer SINNERBOY noch einmal in der Originalbesetzung sehen möchte, muß sich also ranhalten.
Wir wünschen Steve für die Zukunft alles Gute und wir werden ihn an den Drums von Sinnerboy sehr vermissen.

.... und das Cover der neuen DVD sieht jetzt so aus!
 |

Hier sehen wir die beiden Cover, unter welchen das Konzert als VHS bisher bereits veröffentlicht wurde!
Am 03. April 2006 erscheint - lt. amazon - als UK-Import eine neue DVD von Rory Gallagher mit dem Namen "LIVE". Es handelt sich hier nach offiziellen Angaben um das Remake der sensationellen Aufnahmen von "Live at the Cork Opera House" aus dem Jahr 1987.
Produktinformation:
Darsteller: Rory Gallagher
Format: Import, PAL
• Sprache: Englisch
ASIN: B000EU1KPU
Hier die offzielle Ankündigung von Sony-BMG UK:
"Rory
Gallagher – Live At Cork Opera House".
At the core of this extraordinary DVD is RORY GALLAGHER’s 1987 performance
at the Cork Opera House during the DEFENDER tour. Returning to play his hometown
after a gap of some years, this show was as triumphal as it was greatly anticipated
- and Irish national tv broadcaster RTE was there to capture the occasion.
This release marks the upgrade to DVD for the first time for this previously
best-selling VHS title (74321 670553), which was originally released in 1999.
However, what makes this release even more special is the many extra
features and touches within the production of the DVD that will delight
Rory’s legions of fans around the world. To complement this landmark
performance, a unique and highly personal Rough Guide To Rory’s
Cork has been compiled, mapping key Rory locations around the county
and illustrated with memorabilia and rare and unseen photographs - all supplemented
with anecdotes and recollections. The Rough Guide… features both within
the 12 page booklet and the menus and special features
of the DVD itself, where archive shots and specially commissioned
art combines with recently-filmed footage in Cork. In addition,
there’s the short documentary produced to promote the Big Guns
– The Best Of Rory Gallagher album in 2005, the TV ads produced
to advertise that album in both the UK and Ireland, a comprehensive
discography – and much, much
more…

Prohibition captures Ashton in his finest rocking blues performance to date. He blends the essences of Mississippi, New Orleans and Texas blues, 60s surf, British 70s rock and no-holds-barred Australian kick-ass boogie.
Every element of the blues is encapsulated here and played with amazing dexterity and power. Old Strats, Teles, National resonators, Fender tweed amps, fuzz boxes and his ancient Echoplex are driven to the extreme, guaranteed to satisfy the most discriminating taste in guitar-led blues.
Ashton dives and ducks from the wild frenetic slide guitar featured in the Rory Gallagher classic track Secret Agent to the gentle, graceful, emotional, soulful playing in his Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute Rest In Paradise. Each of the 12 tracks on Prohibition delivers a take-no-prisoners approach, with 11 self-penned titles.
Chris Glen and Ted McKenna (Ian Gillan, Michael Schenker Group, Tear Gas and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band) accompany Ashton. Ted also played and recorded with Rory Gallagher from 1978 to 1981, the Greg Lake Band (with Gary Moore), Womack and Womack and Amos Garrett. Chris played with John Martyn.
Don Airey, keys with Deep Purple, contributes piano and organ on Prohibition. Don has also recorded and performed with (amongst others) Whitesnake, Gary Moore, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.
Glaswegian
singer Liz McLaughlin provides backing vocals, along with Chris, Ted and Gwyn.

Petition
für eine Rory Gallagher Statue in Cork/Irland
Trevor
Thompson and James Brown:
"Dublin have honoured Phil Lynott with a statue. Now, many people think
it's time Rory Gallagher's home town paid the same tribute to their own legendary
musician. Rory fan James Brown says why he thinks it should happen.
I think the time is right to put up a statue to my hero in Cork city. He might
have come from humble beginnings but he taught the world how to rock and fans
from all corners of the globe regularly pay tribute to his music and his life
with festivals and even streets being named after him.
Yes, we have Rory Gallagher Place in Cork, but I think we can go further and
my dream is to have a bust or a statue of him standing proudly somewhere in
Cork. The ideal location would be at the side gates of City Hall, but just
as good would be either outside the Central Library or even in Rory Gallagher
Place itself ....."

Auf der Frontseite gibt es unten links einen Button "Rory Gallagher Statue Petition"
.... und wer noch Zeit und Lust hat, sollte auf der Seite noch unter der Rubrik "Interviews" das interessante Gespräch mit der Mutter von Phil Lynot lesen. Auch sie findet nette Worte über Rory und das Verhältnis zur Familie Gallagher.

Rory Gallagher Statue am Rory Gallagher Corner in Dublin geplant. Die Vorlage für die Statue soll das Cover der CD "Big Guns - The Very Best Of Rory Gallagher" dienen. Donal freut sich sehr über diese Pläne, und das der Stadtrat nach zwei Jahren verhandelns, diesen Plan nun endlich befürwortet!
Bericht von Treacy Hogan
A MEMORIAL to legendary rock and blues musician Rory Gallagher has been given the green light by Dublin City Council.
A
life-size bronze replica of Gallagher's famous paint-stripped Fender stratocaster
guitar is to be erected on a wall in Temple Bar in honour of the famous Donegal-born
musician. The city council has decided to grant planning permission following
a two-year planning wrangle. The street where the archive is located has been
officially renamed Rory Gallagher Corner and the building bears the street
name. The building is owned by Temple Bar Properties but is leased by the
OPW to the National Photographic Archive, which is part of the National Library.
Concerns by the National Library that the site may become a shrine to Gallagher
with fans drawing graffiti on the gable wall were dismissed by the project
promoter Mark Walsh.
Mr Walsh lodged the planning application at the end of October on behalf of
Dublin's music equipment stores and has just been informed that permission
has been granted.
"Rory
was our first international rock star who paved the way for Thin Lizzy and
U2. He is still highly respected internationally and the Fender strat guitar
was his trademark," he said yesterday. Donal Gallagher, Rory's only brother
and his former manager, said he was very happy at the city council decision
and that he would support the project in any way he could.
In its decision the council said the bronze guitar would be fixed to the wall
below the existing Rory Gallagher Corner place name.
The planning application contained detailed sketches of the monument.
The giant Fender corporation has agreed to bankroll the cost of the bronze
monument along with the city's music equipment stores. Rory Gallager is regarded
by many as the greatest ever electric blues guitarist and his music has attracted
a legion of new young fans. An
anthology of Gallagher's music released last year went plantinum in many countries.
The cover of the CD features the guitar which will be replicated at the Temple
Bar monument. Gallagher died in 1995 after contracting a virus following a
liver transplant. He is buried in Cork wHere he grew up.
A
bronze statue of Dublin rock star Phil Lynott off Grafton St has become a
magnet for his many fans.
