Joe Bonamassa review: US guitarist puts Rory Gallagher back centre stage at Marquee in Cork

Awesome and yet eerie at the same time, Joe Bonamassa’s adoring homage to Rory Gallagher’s epic double live album, Irish Tour ’74, is a spine-chilling experience that takes music to a higher spiritual plane.
Everyone who was in Cork’s Marquee for night one on Tuesday had the same thought: How can I get tickets to nights two and three?
