Mick Daly's not-so-straightforward alliance with Rory Gallagher

Mick Daly is recounting the tale of how he ended up driving back from Belfast with Rory Gallagher and three grand in cash stuffed under the passenger seat.

“In that time, people were being stopped on the road and shot, so it was a bit scary,” he says.

Daly, the Cork singer, five-string banjo player and guitarist, has played with everyone from Sonny Condell to Mary Black to Arty McGlynn.
