‘Sinnerboy are my favourite boy band’ - Donald Gallagher,
Rory’s brother and manager.
It is over 14 years since Ireland’s original guitar hero Rory Gallagher
died at the young age of 47 (14th June, 1995), leaving behind him a rock/blues
legacy that is kept alive today by Sinnerboy.
Guitarist/vocalist & leader of Sinnerboy, Barry Barnes is one of Europe's
most active enthusiasts working to keep alive the music and memory of Rory Gallagher.
In 1996 Barry started what has become the longest running Rory Tribute Festival
in the world. 'The Rory Gig' still attracts people from all over the world annually.
Playing live is what Sinnerboy do best. Anyone who has seen them will tell you,
it's all about energy and passion, strong songs played with verve. But how else
could you approach playing Rory's music?
Sinnerboy’s repertoire includes over forty songs (and rising), with material
from every stage of Rory's career including his early days with Taste to such
favourites as ‘Bullfrog Blues’, ‘Walk On Hot Coals’,
‘Tattooed Lady’, ‘Shadow Play’, Moonchild’ and
of course ‘Sinnerboy’
Much of the material has also been captured on the band’s two cd’s
‘Down & Out in Hammersmith’ and ‘Live at the Spirit Store’.
Sinnerboy combine a genuine love for Rory’s music with a rock blues virtuosity
that made the late, great Rory Gallagher unique.
‘We aren’t a look-alike band’, concludes founder
member Barry Barnes; ‘We just want to keep the music and spirit of
Rory Gallagher alive. He was an inspiration to a generation and the fact we
get fans young and old coming to our gigs, is the best possible confirmation
that we are doing something right.’
THIS IS NOT CABARET!
