Soon we will be able to see the stage of Rory who earnestly lives for playing guitar. With his new album "Tattoo", he broke new ground adding a new sophisticated side to his usual wild appeal.

Coming to Japan bringing excitement
A face in the new year 1975
Rory Gallagher
He got dates fixed for another Japan tour after a year from January last year. His last year's shows have pierced our hearts painfully with his young power devoted to the stage . I'm looking forward to his performance filled with his passion for a guitar again, and can't wait to see how he grew in the mean while.

Rory Gallagher!!

Rory Gallager changed the record label from Polydor to Chlysaris. And album "against the grain" released for the first transference was the masterpiece which was good as giving glory to new departure of such him. There are always many fans loving Rory Gallager showing a wholehearted performance as hard as possible. He is one of the musicians we hope to see in Japan again.

Just before release his new album "CALLING CARD" in Japan. This album that produced by Roger Glover (ex. Deep Purple) has already become a good reputation. He is absorbed in a guitar and he loves live. If he had a guitar in his hand, he shows his innocent expression like a child.
