I watched the programme and enjoyed it very much. I thought it was interesting to hear him say that although he was born in Ballyshannon, he considered Cork to be his home town. I wonder will the new statue in Ballyshannon have to be moved down to Cork

Rigsby

Yeah, I enjoyed it also. It was a fitting tribute.

What a legend.

I would have loved to have seen more about his work with Taste and even show some of the Isle of Wright stuff.

Was the Macroom show ever recorded?

Flimbos

Very good documentary. The part about him playing with the Rolling Stones was interesting, how he could have never joined them full time... obviously because he was a front man, a vocalist. And as I think Bob Geldof said "he couldn't have put up with their sh*te!"

Its still available for playback until july1st on the RTE site here http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1074609

Fantastic documentary. With contributions from Johnny Marr, Cameron Crowe, Edge, Geldof and Rory's brother Donal Gallagher. Well worth a look.

Great quote at the beginning from Johnny Marr about him seeing Rory replacing a broken string without stopping the song he was playing! I can believe it, too...

Whatever it is I'm sure Jimi has to ask Rory how to play it :D
