The sister of the late Gary Moore has said she cannot believe the love that still exists for her guitar legend brother as a campaign to erect a statue in Belfast gathers pace.
The project has now received political backing from the Green Party and Alliance for the Wild Frontier Memorial Project 10 years after Moore s death in 2011 following a heart attack, aged just 58.
He had enjoyed a chequered career in rock, playing with bands such as Thin Lizzy, Skid Row and G-Force, and as a solo artist collaborating with BB King among others.
Gary s sister Patricia (48), herself a musician, said she was taken aback by the support for the campaign after a concert to fundraise for the statue sold out in 2019.
