Hi everyone, We are Lauren and Rain, the co-authors of Rewriting Rory, a blog aimed at ‘rewriting’ the later years (1985-1995) of Rory's career, which is so often overlooked when talking about him. We publish articles monthly aiming to dispel myths surrounding Rory's life by attempting to 'rewrite' his narrative and by showcasing his performances and music, as well as the man himself. Here is a list of topics we have covered so far: November 2021 Rewriting Rory #1: The Untold Narrative December 2021 Rewriting Rory #2: The Maestro of the Harp January 2022 Rewriting Rory #3: Uncle Jimmy and Rory’s Irish Swansong February 2022 Rewriting Rory #4: ‘My Life, My Best Friend, My Psychic Make-up’ March 2022 Rewriting Rory #5: A Celebration of Mr. Blues If you are interested in reading more, here is the link: rewritingrorygallagher.blogspot.com/Lastly, if you would like to be added to our mailing list please contact us via our email address: rewritingrory@gmail.com

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share the link to part 2 of our blog post on Rory's session work between 1985 and 1995 for those who might be interested: rewritingrorygallagher.blogspot.com/2022/04/rewriting-rory-6-part-2-beyond-muddy.html In putting together this post, we were delighted to have had the opportunity to interview a number of people who worked with and admired Rory, including Joby Fox, Kevin Breslin, Shu Tomioka, Pete Lockett and Roberto Manes. Their personal insights were so inspiring and offer so much information on these sessions that has not been previously shared publicly. We hope you enjoy it 🙂 With love and kindness, Lauren and Rain

Here is a link: rewritingrorygallagher.blogspot.com/2022/05/rewriting-rory-7-part-1-fear-na.html Part 2 will be sent to you tomorrow, so you don't have to wait too long Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Hi everyone, Today is the anniversary of one of our favourite Rory performances: Montreux Jazz Festival 1994. To mark the occasion, this month’s blog gives you everything you need to know about the concert. The blog also covers Rory's brilliant performance at Pistoia Blues Festival, which took place just over one week earlier. Here is the link: rewritingrorygallagher.blogspot.com/2022/07/rewriting-rory-9-part-1-man-on-fire.htmlThe second part of this blog will come in early August to mark the anniversary of Rory's appearances at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient and the Stuttgart SDR3 Festival, both also in 1994. Have a lovely day ☺
