Die Band of Friends spielt weltweit Shows die sich hinter den Auftritten der Rory Gallagher Band nicht verstecken müssen.
Zwischenzeitlich bringen die Band of Friends auch selbst eigene Alben auf dem Markt, die eine konsequente Weiterentwicklung der Musik von Rory Gallagher ist. Das neueste Werk trägt den Namen „Repeat After Me“.
2019 sees the Band of Friends entering their 7th year together. The band have gone from strength to strength. Reaching a larger audience than expected back in 2012.
They have now toured most of Europe, and with their first tour of the US in April 2018, playing to sell out venues, and with a return to the US in November and December 2018, the band could sit back and relax.
But NO 2019 sees the band working harder than ever Globally. Also looking forward to 2020, which will be Rory’s 25th Anniversary, the band are putting together something special for this.
Also with 3 CD’s under their belt, they hope to release a best of CD in 2019. The CD’s “Too much is not enough” “Live n kickin” “Repeat after me” are available on the online shop at www.bandoffriends.eu Along with their music awards, Gerry McAvoy was awarded the freedom of Belfast by the city council.
As Winners of European Blues Awards “Band of The Year” in 2013, Best musician Ted McKenna 2016, Best guitarist Marcel Scherpenzeel 2017, and boasting rave reviews from every show, it’s clear to see why the band continues to be so popular.
In the era of tribute acts who deliver note-perfect renditions of their heroes' catalogues, the Band of Friends is something different. They can do the notes played by electric blues icon Rory Gallagher. But they can also do the sound, energy and feel – because the band includes people who helped define those essential elements.
