CD Band Of Friends – Repeat After Me

Band Of Friends, the powerhouse trio renowned for capturing the true spirit and energy of Rory Gallagher’s music, delivers an electrifying original collection with their 2016 studio album, Repeat After Me. Featuring a lineup of rock veterans, this album serves as a masterclass in arena-rock dynamics and technical musicianship.

The band features legendary bassist Gerry McAvoy (a veteran of Rory Gallagher’s band for 20 years) and the late drumming icon Ted McKenna (formerly of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and Rory Gallagher’s band). Rounding out the trio is Dutch guitar virtuoso Marcel Scherpenzeel, celebrated for his ability to channel the intensity and feel of classic blues-rock.
