I bought my tickets for the 2023 - I've been to Ireland and saw as many Rory sites as I could but I've never been to this festival. Safe to say - it is already the highlight of 2023 for me. Really looking forward to it!! www.rorygallagherfestival.com/

Really looking forward to it!! Hi Ian and welcome to Rory's home on the net. I started going to the Rory Fest in Ballyshannon 20 years ago and have never missed one. It is still my highlight of the year and as I always say a paradise for a Rory fan to go to for sure Rock On for Rory Slainte Jay Jay

I'm surprised nobody has commented on the lineup of artists and bands playing at this years Rory Fest in just over one months time now
Any thoughts?

Hello all! I’m truly excited to go to the Rory Gallagher Festival for my first time! A question for those who have been in past years- are there any informal jam sessions that break out? I was thinking of bringing my mandolin to Ballyshannon. I figured the sessions might be already arranged, but maybe there are some that are open that just kinda happen? Either way, looking forward to hearing great music, and meeting great people!

Either way, looking forward to hearing great music, and meeting great people! Randy Ohio, US Hi Randy and welcome to the Rory Gallagher Official Forum There "Used To Be" a Jamboree gig on the Sunday 12 noon @ Bridgend Bar with Barry Barnes (Sinnerboy) where he would ask people to come and sing or play a tune with him on stage, Unfortunately Barry retired Sinnerboy and isn't playing at the festival this year after playing there for nigh on 20 years. Saying this Daivid Hawkins (Deuce) and Mark Black are playing acoustic sessions !2 noon at Bridgend Bar this year and may carry on this tradition of asking folk up for a tune? The acoustic gig at The Rock Hospital (where Rory Was Born) is one not to be missed 1pm Friday. Also in Ballyshannon you do see folk busking at the side of streets and other places at the RG fest. Rock On for Rory Slainte Jay Jay

Jay Jay, thanks for the response, and for the previous post on the schedule! I’ve seen Band of Friends three times in the States, but no other Rory music bands, so I can hardly wait. Randy
