A new statue of the late great Rory Gallagher has been unveiled in his hometown of Belfast. High time, of course. Gallagher left us 30 years ago, in 1995, at the ridiculously young age of 47. But it’s not the guitar that people are getting upset about. It’s the guitar he’s depicted carrying.
“Wrong guitar,” wrote one fan on social media. Another lamented that “Rory owned a Tele. But his… STRAT was his iconic trademark.” “No Strat? Not too clever,” moaned a third.
