Guitarists

Rory Gallagher is a hero and icon of rock music. In 1963, aged fifteen he bought his trademark Fender Stratocaster. He discovered the blues when pop magazines and radio were scarce in Ireland and won the Melody Maker Guitarist of the Year in 1972, ahead of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Acknowledged as one of the world's leading guitarists, he toured incessantly and sold over 30 million albums. This is a compelling testament to the musical life of a shy and retiring working-class hero, distinguished by his checked shirts and his astounding dexterity on acoustic and electric guitar - the guitarist and blues man who blazed a trail for others to follow.
