Rory Gallagher describes himself as “a free spirit” and committed to the problems of society. The Irish singer and guitarist, with an extensive career spanning more than twenty years, considers himself a worker rather than a musician and loves that the people who go to see his concerts fully identify with the rhythm of rock and roll. After his performances in Madrid and Barcelona, ​​yesterday he performed in Gijón, as part of the tour he is carrying out throughout Spain.

Rory Gallagher confessed, even apologising, that he had not the slightest idea of ​​the new rock trends in Spain, “although I remember Los Brincos and Los Bravos,” and said that Spain is identified with flamenco, although in Asturias they have a bagpipe similar to the Irish bagpipe.” I was in a group in which two companions played the bagpipes and I would love to have them tonight for my performance in Gijón.”
