Born April 4, 1952 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, (William) Gary Moore played some fine guitar.

During a cross-genre musical career that dates back to the 60s, he is perhaps best known for his work with Thin Lizzy, Skid Row and Colosseum II.

He collaborated with a list of greats too long to mention, playing Blues, Rock and Jazz, and had a brilliant solo career. He also appeared as a regular radio host with his program “Blues Power,” spinning classic blues mixed with his own tracks.

Moore’s latest album, Bad for You Baby was recorded in London, Feb-June 2008, and produced by Gary Moore.
