Gig: Sinnerboy – Poulton-le-Fylde – 25 July 2009

This Saturday sees the return of Sinnerboy, the UK’s No 1 Rory Gallagher tribute act to the Fylde coast.

Guitarist and singer Barry Barnes is one of Europe’s most active enthusiasts working to keep alive the music and memory of Rory Gallagher.

      Since 1996 Barry has organized the annual Rory Gallagher tribute gig at
      Dukinfield Town Hall, near Ashton-Under-Lyne, Lancashire, making this the
      first, and the longest running Rory Tribute in the world. Currently
      established as one of the main events on the Rory calendar, and forced to
      re-locate to Sheffield, it continues to grow and now ‘The Rory Gig’
      attracts audiences in excess of four hundred people from throughout the UK
      and abroad.

      The same impetus to celebrate Rory’s genius led Barry to form a tribute
      band with two like-minded musicians – bassist Dave Burns and drummer Steve
      Tansley. Both Dave and Steve are lifelong Rory fans, not just some
      rhythm section that Barry has cobbled together, and it shows! Together as
      Sinnerboy and driven by belief, enthusiasm and passion, it’s the bands
      stated aim to be amongst the best Rory Gallagher tribute acts in the
      world.

Sinnerboy will be playing at Poulton Community Hall, Breck Road, Poulton le Fylde on Saturday July 25th at 9.00pm. Admission is £10. Ring Alan on 01253 890927 to reserve tickets.
