Gary Moore

From: Belfast

Active: RIP

Style: Guitarist, Singer

Bio:

After leaving Skid Row, Gary Moore formed his own Gary Moore Band and signed to CBS Records. This band was initially a trio with ex Mellow Candle bassist Frank Boylan and drummer Pearse Kelly. Guitarist Philip Donnelly, the Clontarf Cowboy, joined later. All appear on the debut LP 'Grinding Stone' which was originally touted as a double. It's release was the victim of several delays. By the time it finally came out as a single LP on 20 July 1973, Boylan and Donnelly were gone, reputedly collaborating in new group by September 1973, but it came to naught. Moore's new bassist was John L.Curtis (ex Mike Hugg Band).
