Long-shelved Gallagher album set for release

FANS of blues legend Rory Gallagher are in for an unexpected treat after it was confirmed that an unreleased album by the star is set to be made public.

The album, Notes from San Francisco, was made in 1977 and 1978 when the Donegal man — who had strong connections with Cork — was living on the west coast of America.

However, despite putting two years of work into the project, Gallagher refused to release it after watching the Sex Pistols on tour in the US.
