A TASTE OF
RORY took Dublin by storm with a R.G. commemorative gig on Friday, June
13th.
The band (Deko Kennedy (gtr/vocals), Paul Moore (bass), Rod Quinn
(drums) and Dick Farrelly (keyboards)] started the night as a three
piece, playing music from the TASTE era ( e.g. 'Mornin' Sun', 'Whats
goin On' etc.) to a wildly appreciative audience.
An acoustic set followed, including such gems as 'Out on the Western
Plain', but the real highlight of the show was an original, penned by
Deko, recounting his first visit to Rory's grave in Ballincollig. There
wasn't a dry eye in the house...
The third part of the show was done as a four-piece, and included
such classics as 'A Million Miles Away', 'Walk on Hot Coals', and finished
up with the 'anthem' - 'Bullfrog Blues'. Encore after encore followed,
with fans dancing and screaming for more. As one fan put it: "Taxi? -
I could RUN home!!!"
A TASTE OF RORY continue to break new ground, spreading the message
of Rory to fans, old and new ( the amount of young fans at the gig was
a welcome sight!). The band are planning a tour of Holland in August
( details to be confirmed) and look forward to touring the rest
of Europe in the near future.
