Rory Gallagher was the original Irish guitar hero, whose artistry with a battered 鈥�61 Stratocaster became the stuff of legend. Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters admired him, the Rolling Stones tried to hire him - and his fans worshipped him. Clad in faded denim and a checked shirt, he sold 30 million records and became a charismatic icon of Irish music, inspiring musicians such as Brian May, The Edge, Slash and Johnny Marr.

But away from the stage, Rory was an intensely private man. His closest confidante was his brother Do虂nal, who accompanied Rory on his rise from their childhood Everly Brothers stage performances and the showband scene across the north and south of the Irish border, through to the deafening heart of the 鈥�70s rock scene in London - and far beyond. From playing bomb-shattered Belfast at the height of the Troubles to touring across America with everyone from Blind Faith to KISS, Do虂nal was at Rory's side to witness his greatest triumphs and, after all too brief a span of years, his decline into illness and a tragically early death.

Now, D贸nal has agreed to delve into his formidable archive and, along with insights from Rory鈥檚 friends and admirers, this film takes us on a musical journey through the life and career of this shy guitar hero to better understand what made him so great.

Featuring rare, never-before-seen archive footage and interviews with Rory鈥檚 closest friends and family alongside musical legends including Johnny Marr, Brian May and Bob Geldof, this is the definitive portrait of one of the greatest musicians ever to emerge from Ireland.
