This man could play, i was listening to his inimitable "Blues Alive" album the weekend. Used to be my sound check tape for the Truth commission, LOL. Never forget the one time we played it at lunch, and we had all these political types coming over to tell us how great the music was. "Blues and Ballads" was the first cd i ever bought, kept me warm a good few nights.
He was only 58, died in his room at the luxury Kempinski Resort Hotel in Estepona on the Costa Del Sol. A post mortem will be carried out later today in the nearby city of Malaga.
Tribute:
“He was a genius player. Even as a teenager, he had something special about him and throughout his career he worked really hard at improving his technique.
“His contribution to the Irish rock canon was immense, both in his own solo work, his days with Skid Row, the great records he recorded with Philip Lynott and with Thin Lizzy and in various other cameos. (Niall Stokes, editor of Hot Press)
RIP Gary Moore, thank you for the blues.
