As many of you will have seen, Gary Moore, formerly of Thin Lizzy, passed on yesterday. As he's one of my dad's favourite musicians, I thought I should pay my respects here. He's probably still best known for his work with Thin Lizzy, so I've selected a song recorded outside of the band but with Phil Lynott. I wanted to choose something Moore himself wrote, and 'Out In The Fields' tackles the sectarian nature of Northern Ireland, his home nation. I appreciate the song's sentiments, and I like the way they're conveyed. RIP, Gary Moore, widely considered as one of the best guitarists to have lived.
