He saw the revered blues guitarist play live at his now legendary ‘homecoming show’ in Cork Opera House almost 35 years ago. 

Now promoter Tom Keating, 56, hopes to recreate that iconic Rory Gallagher gig on the same stage as part of a very special Gallagher tribute show, featuring Sinnerboy, who have headlined Gallagher tribute events in England, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, Norway and the USA.
