Rory was one of the most honest and down-to-earth musicians of the last century. I was lucky enough to see him play in a small venue (SFX Hall Dublin) and the tickets were five Irish Pounds, worth ten times that. A no-frills, no-effects man who seriously let the music do the talking for him, never bigged himself up or other musicians down, and who, I think I'm right in saying, no-one has ever had a bad word to say about.

A sad loss, untimely and cruel. And an Irishman to the core!

Go raibh maith agat, Rory!
