2012.2.8 | R.I.P. Peter Collins
http://www.rorygallagher.com/#/news/2012/02/peter_collins_ripEx-road-manager Peter Collins passed away.
Peter was a personal Rory's road-manager in the late '70s and early '80s.
Peter can be heard announcing Rory and his band on the Stage-Struck album.
Rest in peace, Peter.
from Japanese music magazine "Ongaku-Senka" (Dec. 1977)
28th Oct. (Fri)
Rory and his tour manager, Peter Collins were on local live radio program called "Doki-doki ragazine seishun sai-zensen" (typical radio program for youth) in Osaka. I've heard from Mr. Masami Tanaka, the DJ of this program, it was the first radio show experience for Peter, he was totally strained and his eyes were wide open and he didn't blink. Rory laughed at his expression.
