Around 350 to 400 RORY FANS witnessed on Saturday night in Manchester @ The 20th British RORY GALLAGHER Tribute an "Absolutely AMAZING Performance" by Jacques Stotzem. I met Jacques after the gig and he is such a lovely and humble guy like RORY was. I played his "Acoustic Tribute CD To RORY GALLAGHER last night all the way through. It is Truly So "BEAUTIFUL & BREATHTAKING" He has really captured RORY'S musical spirit on everyone of the 9 tunes.Just back from work and I'm playing it again now and it is definitely Wheels Within musical Wheels smile emoticon This track here Tattoo'd Lady I believe to be Barry Barnes favourite RORY song? normally Tattoo'd Lady was such a highlight rocker at a RORY gig. Well listen here to Jacques interpretation of this song, he really does capture the beautiful melody line, within this fabulous tune superbly. Just one highlight of so many on this terrific acoustic tribute to our RORY If you haven't got this CD already. IT IS A MUST for any RORY FANS collection

Yeap I need to get this. I really enjoyed. I prefer to play acoustic guitar myself in finger picking style. I can learn a lot from Jacques. Subrata x I need to get Bernie Marsden's tribute to Rory as well. X
Jacques Stotzem is a great finger style guitarist. I bought his Catch The Spirit and Catch The Spirit II CDs for the Rory arrangements and I'm glad he has finally finished and released the Rory CD. Also, for the guitarists out there, his website has some free tabs of his arrangements including a couple of the Rory tunes.
I now have Jacques and Bernie Marsden's tribute to Rory Gallagher. I may go and see Jacques at The Troubadour in Spring. If I do, I will take photos. Rory love The Troubadour and its an amazing place. Me and Susie had lunch their once. Subrata. x
