Celebrate St Patrick’s Day by watching Joe Bonamassa play Sloe Gin on Rory Gallagher’s ’61 Fender Stratocaster

Joe Bonamassa plays Rory Gallagher's '61 Strat live onstage at the Royal Albert Hall, 2013

This St Patrick’s Day, by all means avail enjoy a pint of plain – it’s only right. But for entertainment, why not revisit one of the great moments in blues guitar history when Joe Bonamassa took to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall, playing the late Rory Gallagher’s ’61 Strat?

It wasn’t the first time that Bonamassa got to play the late Irish blues-rock icon’s number one guitar onstage. A couple of years prior to Bonamassa’s 2013 headlining show at the Royal Albert, he played Gallagher’s Fender Stratocaster onstage for a two-night stint at London’s Hammersmith Apollo.
