I'm a 60 year old, old fart guitarist, and extreme Rory fan. I loved every part of this recording. I fills me with joy to hear young folks keeping the spirit of Rory alive.

The dance, the intro solo, the bass line, the rooftop, the awesome sound Very good job girls.

[@2020-r4n]

Awesome, Rory was phenomenal and Dea Matrona do him justice, great slide guitar work, love Cradle Rock. What a TUNE!

[@lal2300]

Good to see real musicians are out there and preaching the word of rock 🎵 🎶🕺🏼💃🏻 🎶🎵

[@raymondchollet3199]

Ive been following these gifted and beautiful musicians. What a joy❤❤

[@VinE83656]

Great job ladies. There is nothing you cannot do. From Sabbath, Hendrix, Zeppelin to SRV, Rory, Peter Green to Bonnie Raitt, Them/Van Morrison, Cream or CSN, Carly Simon, Carole King and not to mention your ORIGINALS. No matter which one of you is playing guitar or which is on bass or which one of you are singing lead, it's always great.

[@roadking99jokerst60]

You covered it all. Yeah, give a lady a guitar and look out!. But, give Mamie a microphone ! Love 'em !

[@jerryholowaty1214]

this band never fails to surpise and delight !! what a band !

[@dwightropp3014]

Another great one! And I'm still amazed at how they switch back and forth on bass and lead-guitar and are equally as talented on both! And just love the brief, harmonizing bass lick by Orlaith at 0:43!!

[@bryanbutterfield1571]

Yep 100%

[@user-gm5by6dj3d]

Loved Rory . Great version . Amazing band

[@audiophileman7047]

The ladies know how to rock. What a really terrific band they are! 🎸🎸🎸

[@rockr5663]

Difficult to do Rory justice . You certainly did that ❤❤

[@audiophileman7047]

You guys really get it on this Rory Gallagher classic! 😻

[@simondaws4106]

Fabulous cover. I saw Rory live half a dozen times, the best live act ever. Thanks to these young ladies who are keeping his music alive and relevant.

[@dalemcalpine1051]

Well done! Keep on rocking young lady's!

[@bluetopguitar1104]

Very talented young musicians. All great, I want to give special praise to the drummer. An economical player who does exactly what is needed. This is why we love to play in power trios

[@clivedalgleish5987]

Excellent version of Rory's classic.........Love it!!! From Belfast in Northern Ireland x

[@bobkellerjr1956]

Love them!! Visions of The Beatles Abbey Road Rooftop Concert... Proud to say I am old enough to have watched it shortly after the actual event!!

[@HektorBandimar]

Those girls are brilliant! 👏

[@jonmars9559]

Hard to imagine Rory being anything less than pleased with this performance.

[@spicekid9433]

Love Dea Matrona, their original material is superb too. Great to see youngsters play tribute to the legendary Rory and do him proud, great slide guitar work and they put their own spin on this making it kinda dancey, bit of a bop. Long live RG, he really was incredible and his music still is !

[@truckerdiablo5819]

3 fantastic Irish ladies covering a great Irishman’s song and doing an amazing job of it. They are brilliant live looking forward to seeing them again.

[@AllenCH55]

Ladies, you cover Rory, awesome. Please do more of Rory's songs. Thank you.

[@Chimp_6]

Well done ladies. The Pride of Cork would have loved your cover of his timeless hit!!!!

[@boforotio]

Love them.

[@ralphraffles1394]

One of your best! Great group, and what a setting.

[@tonybennett365]

Rory was a hero guitarist for all of my waking life. You girls are lucky to have all the elements. I remember when Mamie wasn't sure about staying and she has.. You have now become a tight and extremely dinamic band

[@VinE83656]

Mamie left the band back in February to focus on education. This performance is from the roof top live stream last July. The link was included with the purchase of their vinyl or cassette single last year. So, Mamie did leave.

[@tfcolligan]

This is the vid that sold me on them. She actually channelled Rory with that slide bit. Time for a USA tour, anyone?

[@MrPnew1]

they actually just did a tour in the US

[@tfcolligan]

Cool that's good news. I'll just have to keep an eye out for them if they come back to the US

[@SuperchargedPathfinder]

You just became my favorite band! Love Rory and you ladies killed it! Rock on!!

[@Broeseler]

SENSATIONELL! I´am 61 years young. SO GREAT!. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. You are all incredible great. All the best from Austria. Boomerang and Kangaroos... you know? :-)

[@rocketrose2165]

Every time I hear someone covering a Rory Gallagher song I'm reminded what an absolute genius he was. I miss him most days. Good job on the slide Mollie. It's easy to sound bad and very very hard to sound good.

[@stubeedoo8259]

This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "Power Trio". Dea Matrona, I love you!

[@joeleja]

Great job ! Thanks for keeping Rory's music alive.

[@brendancahill3376]

Loved it .

[@jamesnolan4412]

Top notch vocal, tight rhythm section, amazing slide skills ! Very talented young band and a positive sign for the future of Irish rock! Go well ladies!

[@jerryholowaty1214]

this gotta be on next album please !!!!

[@eily_b]

Awesome! Rock on, girls! And a rooftop concert. 🎸🤘

[@michaelcraig9449]

Go on tour everywhere!

[@billh7214]

[@billyshane3804]

Dynamite stuff. Fly the flag, keep on keeping Rock'n'roll alive. Must have damn good parents who have raised these girls the RIGHT way. Well done.

[@lowellcalavera6045]

Rory lives

[@volker3923]

Mamie is getting better and better!

[@clowncarqingdao]

OK. That was a great interpretation. Superawesome together. Great playing. Love the way you kept that alive and interesting all the way through. Slide and vocals together can be really hard to do and you pulled it off.

[@leehambleton9919]

I enjoyed this I wish rory was around to see all the fine musicians that have covered his work and to know how much he is missed rip number 1 Lee Hambleton from Sheffield

[@davecostello560]

This is a really accomplished performance - it progresses so well, so many clever little hooks, musical and visual, that appear but never outstay their welcome!

[@PaddyByrne931]

Class

[@sumdumguy2648]

Mollie is so talented and gorgeous.

[@daviemcf]

MAGIC!

[@trevorjones6587]

This is good, but I saw them open for Feeder last week and live the were fantastic. Go see this band live

[@VinE83656]

I envious, I cannot wait for them to come to the US. They are opening of Eagles of Death Medal soon across Europe, but no US dates yet.

[@riccardomusiu510]

Wonderful!!! Thanx so much! Peace & Love 💙 Enjoy! 🎸🔥🎉

[@stevedixon9409]

Love this one girls, it's got Irish soul !

[@kevinwoolner954]

Awesome cover

Saw him do that live on stage , saw him 3 times , a true legend , the best blues guitarist I’ve ever seen

[@jwc00789]

Rock on, Dea Matrona!

[@fernandotorresberral879]

YES! Awesome! Thanks, women! Rock for Rory!

[@jamiewatkins5870]

[@lesliesteward7757]

Love their taste and musical talents

[@nikolas8088]

Millions LIKES!!!🎶🎵🎤🎼🎸💓

[@stevosd60]

They're young enough to be Rory's daughters and then some - great to see youngsters appreciating something from the Good Old days of real Rock

[@md61211]

Granddaughters

[@VinE83656]

They do some great classic covers and originals. This is their first Rory, but they do a great Crossroads cover which was shared by Jack Bruce's FB page. Their version of Peter Green's Oh Well is another standout. They've done Sabbath, Zeppelin, SRV, Aerosmith and a great cover of Van Morrison's Gloria. They also know how to slow it down. Though their live shows seem to be harder rock, they have great acoustic covers as well, the best is a cover of Helplessly Hoping by CSN.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

​@@VinE83656 thanks for this great information but I can not believe missing out on Thin Lizzy, How about the rocker, those very fine swinging hard rocking ladies could this this tune, I know that 6they could and will sone day

[@VinE83656]

@@jamesbradshaw3389 Yes, fans have been suggesting Thin Lizzy and The Rocker would be a good one. Emerald and Black Rose, would be cool too, though ambitious. I think they will do some Thin Lizzy someday. Fans have been requesting Rory and we finally got our wish. I do think they may do fewer and fewer covers though as they have begin to focus on originals.

[@montyscribner700]

Great slide work!

[@alejandramarquez235]

Wish I could play with that joy and skill. Great job and mostly thank you for raising up the flame for Rory's music
