Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded amidst extreme political tension during the Troubles in Ireland, this profoundly passionate and fiercely energetic blues-rock masterclass highlights Gallagher's scorching guitar virtuosity. The album captures his unshakeable, deeply working-class connection with his home audience during a period when many major artists refused to tour the country.
