    Born in 1948 in Ballyshannon, Rory Gallagher was a renowned Irish blues and rock musician. He recorded many solo albums and also performed in the band Taste, selling over 30 million copies worldwide.

    Gallagher moved to Cork at a young age, where he was brought up. However, a statue was erected in Ballyshannon to pay homage to the great artist. Gallagher died in London at the young age of 47 after complications following a liver transplant.
