The late, great Gary Moore’s long career stretched from his early days in late 60s Irish blues rockers Skid Row to stints with Thin Lizzy,  jazz-rockers Colosseum and BBM alongside ex-Cream members Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.

In 2008, three years before his death, he looked back at some of his more memorable encounters with fellow musicians.
