Awarded Life Membership of the prestigious Perth Blues Club for his contribution to the Perth music scene and now a guitar legend in his own right, Gerry’s captivating sound and mastery of the strings impressed Nantwich Rory Gallagher festival organiser so much that, when he flew over to see Gerry and the Irish lineup of his band The Shinkickers in Dublin earlier this year, Gerry was invited to take the stage at Nantwich Rory Gallagher festival in the UK on Saturday, Sept 5th.
Named after a Rory Gallagher song when Gerry formed the band in Australia in 1991, four years before Rory had even passed away, The Shinkickers are probably the first band ever to be named after a Rory Gallagher song as a tribute to the legend.
Although not a tribute band, Gerry has many of his own spine-tingling and captivating original tracks that he plays at every show along with rock and blues classics, Rory Gallagher was one of Gerry's biggest influences and playing a few of his favorite Rory Gallagher songs at every show is a tradition that Gerry has upheld for the last 24 years with The Shinkickers.
Also with an Irish lineup of his other original band, The Nomadic Druids (Instrumental Progressive Celtic Rock) Gerry is fast gaining a reputation as Ireland's next guitar legend.
Gerry will play two extra shows while he is in the UK for the Nantwich festival on Saturday, Sept 5th, including True Blues Club in Newton le Willows Friday, Sept 4th, and a spectacular show at The Cavern Liverpool Sunday, Sept 6th where he will showcase his guitar wizardry with both bands, including tracks from his latest albums, Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow (The Nomadic Druids) and the soon to be released self-titled album, Gerry Quigley & The Shinkickers.
All three shows promise to be nothing less than the jaw-dropping performances which many die-hard Quigley fans in Australia have already come to expect. Gerry's spine- tingling, mesmerising rock guitar mastery will leave you spellbound.
You'll have just three chances in the UK early September to see Gerry Quigley at his finest, playing his eclectic collection of guitars and other things with strings including his mandolin, electric mandola and his unique double-neck mandola/bouzouki played like you've never seen before!
Tickets are on sale now from the venues or available at the door.
Prepare to be captivated!
