In Ballyshannon, the oldest town in Ireland, you'll find two iconic tributes to blues-rock legend Rory Gallagher, who was born here in 1948. In the heart of the town, on The Diamond, stands the life-size 2010 bronze Rory Gallagher statue, capturing the guitarist in full flow with his battered Fender Stratocaster. This is an essential photo opportunity for fans wanting to soak up the atmosphere of the annual International Tribute Festival.
