Rory Gallagher wrote: » Sweet Jesus. Just because Ballyshannon has the festival and statue does not make Cork any less his hometown. Rory clearly stated that he regarded Cork as his home as he was raised there,learned guitar there and went school there. He didn't even rank Ballyshannon as some sort of second home, Oh no that honor went to Belfast.
