Joe Bonamassa plays Rory Gallagher
Joe Bonamassa and band will play a third night Live at the Marquee Cork as a special celebration of the legendary Rory Gallagher.
The first two dates, July 1 and 2 are now sold out.
The first act for Live At The Marquee 2025 in Cork was announced in September as with American guitarist Joe Bonamassa to lead tribute gigs to the late Rory Gallagher.
Details of the concerts were announced at a launch event on September 30 at the Oliver Plunkett bar in Cork city, where Bonamassa was on-hand to play a few of Gallagher’s classic tunes. Marquee promoter Peter Aiken announced the gigs in the presence of Donal Gallagher – Rory’s brother and manager through his career – and other members of the Gallagher family.
Three albums in three years indicate a serious work ethic, for the new album Name Your Sorrow they stuck to a strict schedule. Cathy McGuinness explains that they showed up every day from 9-5, in a windowless Dublin room to just play, swap instruments and experiment. From there, they decamped to a rural Co. Clare retreat to immerse themselves further. “We got on this very non-verbal kind of wavelength, where you just kind of picked up your instruments. It was very instinctive and the most communal experience we’d ever had of working.”
