Packed full of virtuosic guitar playing from an electrifying concert, All Around Man – Live In London consists of 23 phenomenal recordings, taken from a previously undocumented period of Rory’s performing career.

This set is culled from two nights at the Town & Country Club (now the O2 Forum) in London. This set was previously unavailable until the original multi-track recordings were recently found. These were then mixed by Martin Dubka and mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

All Around Man is out 7th of July on 2CD, 3LP, and digital formats.

Six panel digi pack includes a previously unreleased concert from Rory Gallagher’s late 1990 UK tour.
Featuring a twenty three song set of live career classics as well as material from his then latest albums ‘Fresh Evidence’ and ‘Defender’.
This new album has been mixed from the recently found multi tracks and mastered at Abbey Road.

Rory Gallagher’s most successful albums are his live ones, such as “Live! In Europe” and “Irish Tour ’74”. He was an artist that came alive when onstage and this album covers a previously undocumented live period. This twenty-three (23) song, previously unreleased, set is culled from two nights at the Town & Country Club (now the O2 Forum) in London, UK.

Rory was touring in support of his then latest (and sadly, last album) ‘Fresh Evidence’. Featuring fantastic live versions of tracks from that album as well as songs from the 1987 ‘Defender’ album plus other career favourites. This new album has been mixed from the recently found multi tracks and mastered at Abbey Road. The album’s cover is a painting by Irish graffiti artist ‘Vincent Zara’ who has stenciled Rory’s image across his home country.

Rory Gallagher was an Irish musician, songwriter, and producer. He formed the blues rock trio Taste in 1966, which experienced success in the UK and Europe before he pursued a solo career, releasing music throughout the 1970s and 1980s and selling more than 30 million records worldwide. Gallagher is known for his virtuoso guitar playing, which strongly influenced other guitarists such as Sir Brian May and Slash. Rory was listed as the 57th greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and the Greatest Irish Music Artist by Irish Radio.
