"Live at Montreux 2010"

"2010 saw Gary Moore make a return to rock music after a long period of time exploring the blues. He was writing and working on a new rock album when all was brought to a halt by his untimely death on 6th February 2011. This concert from Montreux in July 2010 was his last performance to be filmed. The setlist draws heavily on his hugely successful rock albums of the eighties, stirs in a couple of his classic blues tracks with some memorable hit singles and includes three brand new songs that would have featured on the album left sadly uncompleted on his death. Gary Moore was one of the finest and most respected guitarists the British Isles have ever produced. This concert shows just what a talent we will miss."

Eagle Rock Entertainment will release "Live at Montreux 2010" in three formats: CD, DVD & Blu-Ray, while in Japan it will be available in limited DVD+2CD and Blu-Ray+2CD versions also.

"Blues Power" on Planet Rock

The award winning "Blues Power" radio show, which Gary Moore created exclusively for the UK based digital radio station, Planet Rock, is to get another airing from this September.

A special series of hour long episodes will be broadcast from Sunday, September 4th, at 6pm (British Summer Time), in tribute to Gary, and his long and happy association with the station.

"Blues Power" featured Gary Moore playing a selection of tracks from his extensive music collection, some of which he then went on to discuss and illustrate, by playing parts of the tracks on his guitar, in the studio during the show.

Dr Strangely Strange and special guests play Heavy Petting at the Jazz Cafe, Camden, on Saturday October 29th, 2011.

Shortly before Gary’s sudden death, he had signed up for a London reunion gig with his old friends Dr Strangely Strange. An Irish psychedelic folk group from the late Sixties, the Strangelies were part of Joe Boyd’s Witchseason stable, alongside Nick Drake and the Incredible String Band. In 1970 their cult second album, Heavy Petting, signaled a violent left turn into folk-rock, aided by a 19-year-old Gary Moore.
To mark the reissue of Heavy Petting, the original band plus special guests will perform the album live. There will be an added rhythm section for the electric tracks. Paul Simmons, lead guitarist in the Bevis Frond, is a huge Gary fan, and will now have the task of following in Gary’s footsteps on songs like ‘Sign On My Mind.’
