Dom Martin To Recreate Ulster Hall’s Legendary Rory Gallagher ‘72 Concert as part of their Legacy Series
Multi Award Winning Irish Guitarist Dom Martin, hailed by many as the successor to the legendary Blues / Rock artist Rory Gallagher, will honour Gallagher’s iconic 1972 Ulster Hall concert at the same venue on 28 November 2026.
One year on from Ulster Hall’s ‘Legacy Sessions,’ when rock outfit The Answer sold out an unforgettable recreation of Led Zeppelin ’71 Ulster Hall gig, The Spirit of Gallagher ’72 will be a one-off celebration in the city Gallagher called his “Second Home.”
Expect searing guitar work, soul-stirring vocals and a night steeped in Belfast’s rich musical heritage, a powerful resurrection of one of Ulster Hall’s most defining moments.
From chart-topping albums including Buried In The Hail (Blues Album of the Year) to sold-out tours across the UK and Europe, Dom Martin is the real deal and this promises to be an unforgettable celebration of Irish blues at its very roots.
Dom Martin is humbled and excited that he is getting the opportunity to perform on the same stage as his musical hero. He says;
Rory Gallagher has been my lifelong inspiration since I first started playing the guitar at the tender age of 5 and I’m really looking forward to creating a set list based on Rory’s famous 1972 gig.
"That ‘72 concert, in particular, is remembered for bringing together 2000 people from all sides of the community, during the height of the ‘Troubles’ when very few Internationally acclaimed musicians would travel to Belfast."
"It will be a joy and a privilege to perform to Rory fans of all ages and keep his magic and spirit alive. It’ll definitely be a very emotional evening for me too and I honestly cannot wait to experience and share the magic with everyone there on the evening.”
Peter McKevitt, Head of Entertainment at Waterfront Hall and Ulster Hall, commented
We’re delighted to be partnering with Dom Martin to put on a spectacular recreation of the New Years Day Rory Gallagher gig in 1972, as part of The Legacy Sessions.
Dom Martin, yet another talented local artist, has been endorsed by The Gallagher family, and is renowned for carrying the spirit and influence of Rory Gallagher into a new generation. We are proud and confident that he will give an electrifying performance on 28 November in our historic cultural venue, renowned for its vibrant music scene and memorable live events.
With only one night scheduled, tickets are expected to sell out rapidly for what promises to be an unforgettable evening.”
