Rory Gallagher played to a sell-out audience at the Everyman on Monday the 31st of August 1992. It was organised to raise money for the Irish Red Cross Yugoslav Refugee Appeal. In an interview with the Evening Echo a few days before the concert, Rory spoke about his deep emotional connection to the cause. He recalled his 1985 tour of Yugoslavia, which left him with lasting memories, and expressed that, “in his heart,” he felt compelled to help. “I follow politics, but I can’t fathom this war. This is to help those children who are caught in the middle,” he later shared with the Cork Examiner.(Submitted on June 6, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
