Shame if this is correct. Liked his guitar style, I was listening to him in the gym the other day.

Gutted, he was a life long hero of mine..

Strangely enough I was playing this very tune on my guitar on our top landing (keeps our little girl company whilst in the bath), about 6 hours before he died. He was a lifelong musical hero of mine, and waiting for an alibi would be in my top five. His later blues stuff was out of this world and he squeezed so much emotion out of that vintage les paul. Check out his live duet with BB King on youtube - two absolute masters bouncing off each others respect.

As Geldoff said, 'he was one of Ireland's three great blues-men, along with Van Morrison and Rory Gallagher'. He will be missed
