And to celebrate the late great Irish songwriter’s life, original Whitesnake founder Bernie Marsden is presenting an evening of his music at the Burnley Mechanics.

Only a few years younger than Gallagher would be today, Bernie started out as a fan before becoming well acquainted with the man during the 70s.
