what
happened next
Gallagher
continued touring through the 1980s/early 1990s despite his lifestyle
quite literally killing him. He survived a liver transplant but not the
infection that followed and died in 1995
The little known Irish band
that supported Gallagher became fairly well known.........
odds and trivia
It was through seeing Taste (with Gallagher)
in 1969 that inspired Friars to start. Robin Pike saw them locally and
thought it would be good in little old Aylesbury to have some proper gigs.
He was right.
The support was changed as U2 was not the
advertised band.
Can you believe now that U2 got paid £25 for
this gig?
Also Rory Gallagher's auntie turned up out of
the blue. Mr Stopps escorted her to Rory's dressing room where he apparently
turned a very dark shade of red!
