2012.08.17 | R.I.P. Lou Martin - Rory's piano man
http://www.rorygallagher.com/#/news/2012/08/a_blue_day_for_the_blues_-_lou_martin_rip
Sadly, I have received the news of 'Lou' Michael Martin's passing, he died at 3:30 a.m. this morning (17th August '12), at a hospital in Bournemouth.
Lou had been ill for many years, having suffered a number of strokes and he battled with cancer also, may he now rest in peace.
One of the finest piano and keyboard players that I have ever heard his talent incorporated a rainbow of styles from blues to classical, jazz to orchestral but in a rock 'n roll way.
Working with Lou was a honour, he was a 'true' gentleman and a professional. Aside from the numerous great gigs I listened to him play with my brother, it was a privilege also to be in his 'after hours' company, 'tinkling the ivories' in some hotel bar or playing country in some honky-tonk late-night bar.
Ironically, I'm writing this piece close to the spot where Rory composed "A Million Miles Away" and am "looking out on the deep blue sea", listening of Lou's magically keyboard work on that number and to his many other extraordinary recorded performances.
My sincere condolences to Lou's mother and his other family members.
Rest in peace dear 'Lou'.
Donal

Rory Gallagher Instrument Sale April 16th, 2012
Hello,
We are making available for sale a small selection of Rory's spare amplifiers and guitars.
Rory collected a fantastic range of instruments, after being stored away for nearly 17, we feel that the time has come to allow some of his collection to pass on to people who will once again make music with them.
However, we'll retain all of Rory's 'key' instruments - and no, the 'Strat' is not for sale !
We have done (and will continue ) exhibitions with Rory's instruments but even the largest showing at Harrods could only contain 45 elements.
On April 19th there will be a small showing at New Kings Road Guitars, London - http://www.facebook.com/events/250108195084325/ - with the first set of amps and guitars available to buy. For more details on the sales please visit www.newkingsroadguitars.co.uk

2012.2.8 | R.I.P. Peter Collins
http://www.rorygallagher.com/#/news/2012/02/peter_collins_ripEx-road-manager Peter Collins passed away.
Peter was a personal Rory's road-manager in the late '70s and early '80s.
Peter can be heard announcing Rory and his band on the Stage-Struck album.
Rest in peace, Peter.
from Japanese music magazine "Ongaku-Senka" (Dec. 1977)
28th Oct. (Fri)
Rory and his tour manager, Peter Collins were on local live radio program called "Doki-doki ragazine seishun sai-zensen" (typical radio program for youth) in Osaka. I've heard from Mr. Masami Tanaka, the DJ of this program, it was the first radio show experience for Peter, he was totally strained and his eyes were wide open and he didn't blink. Rory laughed at his expression.
