After various posts and tweets today, all pales into insignificance on hearing the news that Gary Moore has died. Same age as me as it happens.
An amazing guitarist and master gurner in the process, GM will be sadly missed, but he does at least leave us with a catalogue of material to for us to enjoy his memory from.
I’m off to find some of those memories on my iPod.

I’m with you on this. First saw GM at a Monsters of Rock festival when I was about 16 – blew me away. Have seen him many times since, a very significant but largely unrecognised guitarist. As you say RIP.
