I would’ve totally taken that same pic if I’d thought about it…. 🤦🏻♂️
princeofdarkness56 Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 If you head way up to Ballyshanon you will find a statue like that of Rory Gallagher where he was born. I do believe you can find some plaques of him in the Cork and Dublin area where he spent a lot of his time.
tommy p Posted June 12, 2023 Posted June 12, 2023 The statue wasn't there the last time I went. That just gives me an excuse to go back!
Hardrockracer Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Been there various times. They moved the stutue. That'S what I can see from the picture. Originally Phil was facing Grafton Street. The stutue was vandalized once and run over several times by delivery vans and had to go to repair. I visited Phil's mom twice, had tea and cookies and took photos. I actually think I posted them here back then but did not find my old post. In Cork I only saw a Gallagher plaque on the music store where he bought his famous strat. That store still existed when I visited Cork. I also went to Rory's grave site in Cork.

Oh, I remember that post where you held Phil's bass and tried on his jacket.

Hardrockracer Posted June 14, 2023 Posted June 14, 2023 Actually I was in Dublin shortly before Philomena died and called her house if I could visit one more time not knowing how serious her condition was then. Her nephew Graham explained to me that she was not in the condition to have visitors over anymore. She sadly passed away some months later.
Steve Haynie Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 It was cool that she was letting people visit when she was able. You are a lucky man.
