Gerry McAvoy was the bassist for the Irish blues legend Rory Gallagher from 1971 to 1991 – the only constant on all 14 solo albums of the exceptional guitarist, which have sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Few knew Rory Gallagher better than he did, as he accompanied him during the most creative phase of his life until a serious illness prematurely ended his career. "On the Road" is the story of Gerry McAvoy's life before, with, and after Rory Gallagher. But it is also the story of a group of young musicians who grew up during the troubles in Belfast and set out to conquer the world despite violence and hatred, helping Irish music gain international fame. How did the shy, softly spoken boy from Cork become a legend in the tough music business, influencing all Irish musicians from Bono to Boyzone? Based on 100 hours of personal research, interviews with many of Rory Gallagher's friends and colleagues in England and Ireland, and dozens of unique, partly unpublished photos from Gerry McAvoy's personal collection, "On the Road" offers a partly shocking but always authentic insight into the life of a musician who played in one of the most famous rock bands of the 70s and provides an approach to one of the greatest guitar heroes of our time, who unfortunately passed away far too early. The detailed background stories and many little anecdotes from a bygone musical era make this book truly unique. Conclusion: A must-read for every Rory fan!.
