EXCLUSIVES

Since setting up Rewriting Rory in November 2021, we have been deeply moved by the positive feedback we have received from Rory fans, as well as those close to him. The many connections we have made and conversations we have had over the past eight months have been so inspiring, and reiterate over and over again just what a special, kind soul Rory was. It is our absolute pleasure to do our small bit to keep his legacy alive.

The field of Irish musicology has developed considerably over the past twenty years. However, there is still a marked gap in the literature when it comes to Rory Gallagher and, to date, there have been no dedicated academic studies on him. With this in mind, over the past few years, we have conducted several pieces of research on Rory that have been published in international peer-reviewed journals. In doing so, we aim to bring about a marked change in perceptions of Rory by recovering his musical integrity, safeguarding his legacy and crediting him as a true pioneer.
