I saw Mr. Gallagher a few times, always great on stage and CD. There's a new Essential CD out soon. I've been tempted but never made it to the annual Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival. 4 days of rock and blues in Ballyshannon, Rory's hometown. www.goingtomyhometown.com

Hi Vic, his brother still has the strat as far as i know, but the only time he let it out of his sight was to lend it to Fender who made copies of it, including every scratch, dent and ding that the original had, they also do Jeff Becks guitar as well, they're both in the 2007 Fender catalogue, not sure about the guitars do you play them, hang them on the wall, one thing i do know somebody lifted one of the wall in a Glasgow guitar shop tucked it under his coat and walked out the door never to be seen again, £1900 gone in an instant, no luck

Today is the birthday of Rory Gallagher, one of my hero's Hope all is cool in heaven Happy birthday Rory .... R.I.P. Mine too Craig...mine too... He would have been Sixty. There is a fabulous tribute band to Rory called Sinnerboy and they get about all over the British Isles and even Holland and Greece too. If you get a chance to see them they are very very good. No setlist ...you just shout out want you want to hear and Barry ( the main geezer) just plays it...simple as that !!! So his music lives on...Thank the Lord !! www.sinnerboy.co.uk
