Project Description:
Cork City Library hosted an exhibition on Rory Gallagher to mark the tenth anniversary of his death. Among the items on display were: Rory's original song lyrics such as 'Blister On The Moon' and 'A Million Miles Away'; Rory's Martin acoustic guitar which he used principally for playing 'Out on the Western Plain'; the mandolin he played when recording 'Goin' to My Hometown'; some of Rory's books, which give an insight into his many reading interests; concert posters; magazine covers; the Melody Maker award in 1972 to 'Top Guitarist International Rory Gallagher'.
