Rory & The Island (Rory Gallagher) is a great lively acoustic solo singer from Donegal in Ireland.
Ideal for a good night in / out ! Playing a huge mixture of music from the likes of The Beatles, Oasis to Ed Sheeran to Irish pub singalongs.
Also writing his own music , Rory has had 12 Top 20 iTunes singles in Ireland in the past decade. His most recent single ‘When The Lights Go Down (Valhalla)’ reached
Number 1 in early November 2020 and raised a few eyebrows when it kept Miley Cyrus, Lizzo and Dermot Kennedy off the top spot for the weekend. The single also climbed to Number 8 in the UK iTunes Songwriters chart.
Rory’s journey began as lead singer of indie-rock band
The Revs, who alongside being hotly tipped by the likes of U2, found themselves
topping the Irish charts with two top 5 albums and a string of successful tours that made waves throughout Ireland, Europe and even reached Australia with a top 30 single - as well as taking both the Meteor IRMA award and the
Hot Press Award for Best Newcomer in 2002.
After the bands split in 2007, Rory moved to Lanzarote in the Canaries where he opened a live music venue ‘The Island Bar’.
It was there the Donegal songwriter performed weekly residency shows building up a following of people from all over the world that would travel to the island to come and see him perform.
2019 saw Rory leave the island, return back to Ireland and extensively tour, filling out rooms around the UK and Ireland with his London show at The Dublin Castle selling out within 48 hours of going on sale.
Ever productive,
Rory & The Island has spent the past 11 months writing and releasing new music and performing gigs through Zoom and Facebook continuing to build up a strong fanbase.
