RORY GALLAGHER will be seen and heard on film, on record and "live" in the near future.
The film, "Rory Gallagher- Irish Tour'74" is a 90 minute documentary by Tony Palmer based on a series of gigs in Belfast, Dublin and Cork during January this year.
The film, described by Palmer as " an impressionistic view of Rory on
tour", will be in wide-screen, color and stereo. It has been selected
as an official entry for the Cork Film Festival and Rory will be in
Cork for the official showing at the Capitol Cinema on June 10.
There is no commentary in the film- the only voice heard is Rory's
talking about the blues guitar techniques and rock music. Well over
an hour of the film will be devoted to "live" performance sequences.
The album will be a "live" double named after the film released by
Polydor in mid-June to coincide with the premiere in Cork. It includes
the entire film soundtrack, plus other unreleased "live"
recordings.
The film will be premiered in London during the early summer followed
by European showing in the autumn. Rory's manager, David Oddie, reports
that "Interest in the film is unbelievable. I've got a firm offer of
screenings at 300 cinemas through Canada in the autumn."
Rory is at present touring Europe, but will start a short British
concert tour in mid-June. A major concrete tour of England is also
planned for the Autumn.
