    Cork City Hall

    Cork City Hall features in every citizen’s life – not least young Rory’s. My earliest recollection being when Chris Barber’s Jazz & Blues band (who Rory would later record with) were coming to play there.

    Everyman Palace Theatre

    The Everyman Palace Theatre is a classic Victorian structure and a sister venue to the Olympia Theatre, Dublin – both of which Rory loved.

    General Post Office

    The General Post Office on Oliver Plunkett Street in Cork’s city centre was previously a venue where the flamboyant virtuoso violinist Paganinni ( the Hendrix/Gallagher of his day ) once played.  It is a “stone’s throw” from the Beehive or Hayloft Bar where Rory formed and named his power trio “Taste” with Norman Damery (drums) […]

    City Docks

    The City Docks are 1 hour’s sail from the top of Cork Harbour.  Reputedly one of the world’s best natural ports, the Port of Cork is also historically maritime-famed – not least as the last port of call for the ill-faited Titanic. On a number of occasions, Rory used the port to travel to early […]
