One guitar legend salutes another in May.
The Rory Gallagher International Tribute Festival takes place May 28 – 31 this year, marking the 20th anniversary of the beloved guitarist's passing, and another legendary six-stringer will be playing.
Wilko Johnson of Dr. Feelgood fame will bring his band to Ballyshannon, Donegal, for a Big Top performance on the festival's final night.
Wilko, thankfully fighting fit these days, says: "I am delighted to have the opportunity to come to Rory’s birthplace and honour the great G-man, I wanted to do the gig last year, but I had medical issues to sort and I have battled back. It’s going to be a superb festival, I am really looking forward to playing at Rory Gallagher Festival 2015 in Ireland, going to be great."
