It states;

A number other guitarists, including Alex Lifeson of Rush, Brian May of Queen, and Eric Clapton, have cited Gallagher as an influence.

Let me show you a bit more of this work ๐
Close by captureโฆ as you can see the blacks are not black here as the light was wrongโฆ
So I decided to go further away until the black and white mural could be captured better.
Signature of the artist and the tribute to Rory and mention of the photographer the artist used a photo from for his work.
An artistic capture of this work ๐
A little bit later coming from our walk backโฆ even more cars gatheredโฆ ๐๐ one still does see this mural / StreetArt popping out.
I love #blackandwhite works like this as they popโฆ even on cloudy days in Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช
