Photographer Fin Costello will present his collection of classic Rory Gallagher shots in a new 80-page book.
Rory Gallagher fans have something new to salivate over as veteran snapper Fin Costello gathers all his photos of Cork/Ballyshannon’s favourite son together in The Ultimate Performer.
Printed in the US using high-end digital technology, the tome features quotes and comments from such A-List admirers as Steven Tyler and Alex Lifeson.
To mark the occasion, Costello will be signing copies in Cork’s Triskel Arts Centre on November 24 between noon and 4pm.
The other good news is that Donegal County Council have given the green light for a life-sized bronze of Rory to be erected in Ballyshannon next year. Highly appropriate given that 2008 will be the 60th anniversary of him being born locally in – how appropriate! – the Rock Hospital.
