Rory Gallagher Around the Web — July 2009

Published by under Rory mentions

The Latest Rory Gallagher mentions on the World Wide Web:

  • Event Horizon   Event Horizon is an exhibition of posters from past Ulster Hall performances, “as re-imagined by some of Belfast`s best and most promising designers in honor of the reopening of the Ulster Hall.” One participant was Hurson Ltd. whose entry into the exhibit was a redesigned poster of Rory Gallagher’s 1984 Ulster Hall concert. The poster was a unique minimalist approach with lines of every shade of blue you can imagine, a tribute to the ultimate “Blues” master, Rory Gallagher. Click on the picture to enlarge the image.
  • Waveriders   The movie, Waveriders, is set to be released on DVD in September, and includes music by Rory Gallagher. “WAVERIDERS travels from Hawaii via California to Ireland to tell the epic story of the unlikely Irish roots of the global surfing phenomenon and today’s leading exponents of big wave surfing.” You would think that Rory’s “Crest of a Wave” would be the logical choice, however a live version of “In Your Town” got the nod.
  • Wolfgang’s Vault   Rory Gallagher’s evening show at the Bottom Line on November 10, 1978 has been added to the Vault. Don’t miss this excellent quality live performance. Wolfgang’s Vault, named after San Francisco’s legendary concert promoter Bill Graham’s real name, Wolfgang Grajonca, is one of the largest repositories of recorded live music. The Vault mines the archives of the “King Biscuit Flower Hour” and “Bill Graham Presents” epic shows.
