With a brace of guitars, little conversation and absolutely no ceremony, Gary Moore demonstrated to a capacity St David’s Hall audience, just why he is a guitar legend.

His fans nudge to the front, not to whoop, whistle or wave but to witness close-up and in admiration a talent that has endured for almost forty years.

Having graced the line-up of several bands including Skid Row and of course Thin Lizzy, his solo career has uncovered his progression from heavy rock through the blues.

Probably the fastest guitarist in the world – his hand is certainly quicker than the eye – Moore nowadays fronts a simple four-piece consisiting of drums, bass and keyboard.

Other than to introduce each number, his rapport comes through the mastery of his craft and from the opening introduction of Bad For You Baby, also the title of his current album, the crowd are his.

Nowadays, rather than indulging himself, he indulges his fans and whilst predictably yet tantalisingly keeping Parisienne Walkways as his final encore, he takes us on a tour of both his own and cover blues material including Mojo Boogie, the soulful More Than You’ll Ever Know and of course Still Got The Blues.

Technically perfect, but, no longer with any need for technique his sound remains unique.

Frankly if you weren’t moved…you weren’t breathing in the first place!
