Lou Martin RIP (ex-Rory Gallagher)
Posted by: JWM on 22 August 2012
Other forum members, like me, may be saddened to learn of the death of Lou Martin on 17 Aug 2012, aged 63.
Lou was keyboard player (usually electric piano, occasionally organ) for Rory Gallagher during (arguably) Rory's greatest period, during the 1970s.
If I had to single out one track to sum him up it would be the live 'A Million Miles Away' from 'Irish Tour 74' (an arrangement of which Lou played at Rory's own funeral in 1995).
A tribute from Rory's brother and manager Donal, together with a clip from Tony Palmer's seminal 1974 documentary, can be found at:
