Let’s go to work. @rorygallagher rules.
Every year, Rory Gallagher came home to Cork to play Macroom, Ireland’s first open-air rock festival.
In 1978, he made it legendary. He rolled up in a car, grabbed his battle-scarred ‘61 Strat, ran straight up the steps with no soundcheck, and tore into “Shin Kicker.”
Pure rock and roll.
