The Gary Moore Blues Experience

Have You… Still Got the Blues?

Have You Heard… about Gary Moore?

Blues rock fans, this is what you’ve been waiting for! The Gary Moore Blues Experience is on the road again continuing its Steppin’ Out Tour 2027, bringing the legendary sound of one of the greatest electric guitarists of all time back to the stage. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering the magic of Gary Moore, you won’t want to miss it (and some Thin Lizzy into the bargain).

As an instrumentalist, he was formidable, able to shred with the best of them, to play at lightning speed, as well as tastefully. He is spoken of in awed tones. One of the all-time great bluesmen, Albert King, said about him, “He got a good ear, he can listen, he got all kinds of power, all kinds of fire. Turns it up enough so he can feel it”.

He possessed tone to make guitarists sweat and salivate, variously referred to as “fiery”, “intense”, “sweet”, “sublime”, “aggressive”, “mouth-watering”. He also had an unusual technique in which his monster middle finger was a prominent hammer, with an extraordinary reach.

During his lifetime, he was regarded as one of the best rock and blues guitarists ever to come out of the British Isles, not just for his technical ability, but also for his invention, intensity and tightly focused discipline. That assessment has not changed since his death on 06 February 2011. In fact, it has been enhanced; he is enduringly popular, with two album releases in 2020 and 2021, and it can now be seen what an original talent he was. He was much in demand by some of the most famous music personalities of the modern era: George Harrison, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, John Mayall, B. B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Greg Lake, Ozzy Osbourne.

He covered a wide range of styles in his career, including progressive jazz rock and fusion (Colosseum II), heavy rock (Thin Lizzy, Ozzy Osbourne), Celtic rock, and the Blues to which he returned in 1990.

He also contributed some timeless songs, many of them ballads of the highest quality, in any era, which have become classics: Still Got the Blues for You, Story of the Blues, Empty Rooms, Midnight Blues, Still in Love with You and his mainstream hit, Parisienne Walkways.

So, expect electrifying performances of those classics. Every note, every solo and every heartfelt lyric will be played with the passion and intensity that made Gary Moore a true icon.

There was, and is, no one quite like him.
