Gary Moore (in our pub)

Here’s the Thing!

Let's get straight to the point!

I lived in Brighton, UK for many years, my local pub was The Ranelagh in Kemp Town. One of the owner’s friends was the late great Gary Moore, whom more than once, when he was in town, came to the pub and played live (quite often unadvertised and only anounced to Ranelagh Regulars). Which is how myself and several of our friends found ourselves hangin’ out with, listening to, and having late night lock-in drinks with Gary Moore.

BTW the 1959 Gibson Les Paul Gary is playing in this video above is probably the famous guitar that once belonged to Peter Green, a founding memebr of the original Fleetwood Mac. Les Pauls from that year, ‘59’, are probably worth more than that pub!

For more afterhours Moore search YouTube for gary+moore+ranelagh

Finally, I don’t know why, when pople are talking about the topic of ‘who are the greatest guitarists ever?’ Gary Moore’s name never comes up — he’s a blues guitar genius!
