Check Shirt Wizard

A new live set from the late Irish blues guitarist and songwriter Rory Gallagher is on the way in March. "Check Shirt Wizard : Live In 77" is culled from 4 shows, London, Brighton, Sheffield and Newcastle, and features 20 previously unreleased live performances.

Gallagher was on tour in support of his latest album "Calling Card", and the the performances feature live versions of tracks from that album, as well as 1975’s "Against The Grain", and others.

The original performances were recorded to multi track tape allowing this release to be newly mixed and mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

The distinctive cover painting used for the cover of "Check Shirt Wizard" is by young Irish graffiti artist Vincent Zara, who has stencilled Rory’s image across his home country. This is being released as a 2 CD set or as a 3 LP package.

"Check Shirt Wizard : Live In 77" will be released on March 6th, 2020.
