Quelques 'très' bonnes nouvelles pour 2008, de la part de Donal Gallagher, le frère :
We are preparing material for a Taste release with Polydor Records for a release in mid ’08. We continue to pursue the release of Taste’s “Isle of Wight”, performance and hope that director Murry Learnor together with Eagle Rock Entertainment will finally cut a deal to get this out.
Ending the year on a high, the first Rory Martin model arrived for approval (see pic), it’s a tremendous instrument and a wonderful tribute to my brother. The Martins should be available from March ’08. The guitar had its first outing in New York and passed it’s first road test thanks to Seamus Kelliher (who put on the Bottom Line show some years back).
We hope to screen the long awaited Rory documentary, currently we are looking to the month of June for this but our U.S. record company situation may alter the viewing, as I am seeking a universal type transmission but will keep you posted on the documentary’s progress.
Currently, I am working with a publisher to produce a Rory (full colour) ‘coffee table’ photographic type book and I intend to write most of the text (over the holidays), so that the facts are true and accurate. The publishers of this book are curious to seek Rory admirers’ views and interest for the publication, which will be a limited release. A notice for this project will soon be placed on the site and responses can then be reviewed. This book will have our full consent, regrettably others out there didn’t have the courtesy to seek any approval and thus the Rory site cannot endorse them. Also, the guitar tablature book is well under way and just awaits the final notation on some of the material to be approved. At the time of writing, the music book will be published through Music Sales (U.K.).
QUE DU BON !!!
