I may have told the story before but not long after Rory died, there was a commemorative lecture given by Marcus Connaughton here in Cork to celebrate Rory and I suppose mark his passing for the fans (his book on Rory is worth a look if you can still find it too). After the lecture, they played a 30min video recording from the BBC (Old Grey Whistle test I think) and at the end it got a standing ovation....really moving.
Tomorrow's Hot Press is a Rory 25th special too,might be worth a look?

Thanks for the story on the Rory talk. I'm sure I have the book. The cover does look very familiar. That BBC video sounds very familiar too. I may have recorded it on the old tapes and, to this day, I simply cannot trace it. I know it was a fabulous concert and I'd give anything to see it again. Did he start off with Calling Card I wonder? Ah it's the ones that get away that haunts us to our graves.tweber wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 8:44 pmThanks Dermot, that was great.cybot wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 8:23 pmLove Calling Card Shane especially from the BBC Sessions.....

Takes me all the way back to Oatlands in the early 70's.
Still don't know what he's singing about.
