Guitarist and
singer
Barry Barnes
is one of Europe's most active enthusiasts
working to keep alive the music and memory of
Rory Gallagher.
Since 1996 Barry has organized the annual
Rory Gallagher
tribute gig at Dukinfield Town Hall, near
Ashton-Under-Lyne, Lancashire, making this the
first, and the longest running Rory tribute in
the world. Currently established as one of the
main events on the Rory calendar, and forced to
re-locate to
Sheffield, it continues to grow and now 'The
Rory Gig' attracts audiences in excess of four
hundred people from throughout the UK and
abroad.
The same impetus to celebrate Rory's genius led
Barry to form a tribute band with two
like-minded musicians - bassist
Dave Burns and more recently drummer
Steve Tansley.
Both Dave and Steve are lifelong Rory fans, not
just some rhythm s ection
that Barry has cobbled together, and it shows!
Together as
Sinnerboy and driven by belief, enthusiasm and passion, it's the bands stated aim
to be amongst the best
Rory Gallagher
tribute acts in the world.
Sinnerboy
are ever-presents at all the major Rory
festivals throughout the world and were Donal
Gallagher's choice
of band for the first London festival at
Hammersmith
(Donal
calls them his favourite 'boy' band!)
Playing live is what
Sinnerboy
do best. Anyone who has seen them will tell you, it's all about energy and
passion, strong songs played with verve. But how
else could you approach playing Rory's music?
Their repertoire numbers over forty songs (and
rising), with material from every stage of
Rory's career
including his early days with Taste. Bullfrog
Blues, Walk On Hot Coals, Tattooed Lady, Shadow
Play, Moonchild and many more are the
essential ingredients of every
Sinnerboy set.
For
Sinnerboy,
keeping the music of
Rory Gallagher
alive and live for people who love to hear it is
all that matters ...and don't look for three
guys on stage poncing about in wigs trying to
look like three other guys, what you get with
this band is all out passionate
Rory Gallagher
music!
THIS IS NOT CABARET!
