Paddy's Day Rory Tribute To Rock Ulster Hall

The newly reopened Ulster Hall is to honour one of Ireland's best known rock stars.

Double Vision - a Rory Gallagher tribute band - are to make March 17th even more special with a gig celebrating the Co Donegal musician's life. Also on St Patrick's night - following their tribute at Bedford Street's Ulster Hall they'll then cross the road to play Morrison's bar and round off the special night.

The concert at the newly reopened venue will kick off at 8pm, featuring support from Sinnerboy, Limehouse Lizzy and Willie Byrne.

Gallagher was actually the Ulster Hall's most frequent performer, from the early days of Taste through to the Rory Gallagher Band.
