Suntouch Design to Create New Website for Legendary Musician Rory Gallagher
San Diego, California | November 18th, 2009 – Suntouch Design LLC has been selected to design a new website for the legendary Irish musician Rory Gallagher. Employing the latest online technology, the new site will feature Rory's complete discography, including a searchable directory of songs and lyrics. Visitors to the site will be able to sample Rory’s music as well as view clips of classic performances and photos. The site is scheduled for completion in early 2010.
“Rory Gallagher is an internationally acclaimed musician, best known for his blues and rock style. Rory’s unparalleled musical ability and genuine character made him an icon of rock music and with each coming year his popularity increases. Owing to his love and dedication to music, Rory has left behind a rich legacy of albums, live concert recordings, video footage, photos and related memorabilia.” says Suntouch Creative Director John Compton.
Project Manager Daniel Gallagher commented, “I am looking forward to working with Suntouch Design on what will be a great site and tribute to Rory.”
Guitarists will be happy to hear the site will also feature a complete archive of Rory’s guitar collection, more than 100 in all, including his legendary ‘battered strat’, a 1961 Fender Stratocaster (reputedly the first in Ireland) bought by Rory when he was barely a teenager.
“I have been a huge Rory fan for about twelve years now and developing a site like this is a dream come true, ” says Suntouch Creative Director John Compton. “It is our goal to create an interactive experience that will properly showcase Rory’s life and work.”
