Hello! This weeks episode is all about one of Ireland's all time great musicians, the guitarist's guitarist, Rory Gallagher.

We had the pleasure of recording this episode in the Rock and Roll Museum in Dublin. The guides there gave us a load of extra info about Rory (and every other musician with even a sliver of Irish ancestry!), as well as showing us all the amazing memorabilia they have for Rory, Phil Lynott, Micheal Jackson, and a whole host of other musicians. Go check them out!
