Greetings to you! Hope this finds you well, a little news ...
Donal recieves Montreux award
Montreux July 7th 2008 at the 42nd Montreux Jazz Festival - The Irish ambassador of the United Nations Daithi O'Ceallaigh presents to Gary Moore, Donal Gallagher, and Claude Nobs, Gold and Platinum Discs.
Daithi O'Ceallaigh, the Irish ambassador in Geneva most known for his important success against cluster bombs, hands over the awards backstage at the Stravinski Auditorium during the 42nd Montreux Jazz Festival. Eagle Vision honours Donal Gallagher and Claude Nobs with Platinum Irish Discs for their work towards the “Rory Gallagher Definitive Montreux Collection” double DVD. Gary Moore receives a Gold Irish Disc for “One Night in Dublin, A Tribute to Phil Lynott” DVD.
Legendary Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, but he was especially renowned for his outstanding live performances. He was part of the first Montreux Jazz Festival back in 1967 when he was performing with his band Taste. Rory Gallagher and Claude Nobs shared a close bond which led to Rory calling Montreux his second home – he came to play on numerous occasions. Donal Gallagher and Claude Nobs are receiving awards for their commitment in getting this DVD (a compilation of songs performed during his 1975, 1977, 1979, 1985 and 1994 visits) produced and released.

Meeting Place update
Obviously some fans are waiting for an update on the situation regarding The Meeting Place forum. This shouldn't be too far away as we are still looking at options for progress.
It remains our policy to promote a free and open forum, however what format this takes is still open to suggestions. What is most certain is that the vast majority of Rory fans - and there have been many on a very popular forum - have treated The Meeting Place with respect, and therefore in no way do we say it as a failed endeavour.
Needless to say, thank you to everyone who has enquired about this, has offered their support and ideas, and thank you further for your patience. Whatever route we take, we hope you will be happy and continue to populate the site and the legacy of Rory Gallagher with positives and respect throughout.
