In the latest of our one-hour radio specials dedicated to the music of Rory Gallagher, Rory’s younger brother Donal talks about the new release ‘Kickback City’ and the later album releases.

‘Kickback City’ is a 3CD/Book set inspired by Rory’s love of the crime thriller genre and Donal recounts that when on tour he would pack a suitcase with books, and that was the one to avoid on the baggage carousel for fear of causing back problems.

Kickback City

‘Kickback City’ features a new short story by renowned crime writer Ian Rankin who has weaved into the narrative some of Rory’s own themes and song titles, whilst graphic artist Timothy Truman (DC Comics) has created suitable artwork.

Two CDs feature a complementary selection of Rory’s music with a live disc of his 1987 Cork Opera House gig. A third CD features actor Aidan Quinn narrating the story.
