Being an old collector ( my wife would say hoarder, and old! ) I found a box of old photos and receipts from a couple of our/my trips. In 2015, my sons and I were in Norway, Ireland, England, Belgium...and they went to more. But we made sure to be in Ballyshannon for the festival. On the way there, we stayed a night outside of Belfast and I saved this part of a local entertainment newspaper. In 2022, I was back for the festival and spend a couple days in downtown Belfast - mainly to see Ulster Hall. So I must ask - is there ever going to be a Rory statue outside of Ulster Hall? Funding?? Can't fight city hall???

Yes Sid.. The Rory Gallagher Statue Campaign has been on going for some years now. Here is the Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/244470613035674 Plus there is a Blues Festival Fundraiser in Northern Ireland every year. As far as I know the plans have been approved to erect the Rory Statue at the side of The Ulster Hall. Which would be a fitting tribute to the great musical man Who we know was the only musical artist to carry on playing in Belfast throughout the troubles there in the 1970's.
