VIDEO: Shandon bells ring out in honour of Rory Gallagher

Cork’s famous bells of Shandon rang out across the city yesterday in memory of one of her favourite sons and one of the world’s greatest guitar players — Rory Gallagher.

At 1.10pm local radio stations and landmarks remembered the great man by playing his music and reading poems in his honour.

Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of the death of the great man who died at the too young age of 47 and Leeside pulled out all the stops to remember the man born in Donegal but who called Cork his home.
