BBC Sessions Is A Blues Rock Album By Rory Gallagher Released In 1999. The Album Was Compiled From Live Recordings Made At The BBC By Gallagher's Brother Donal And Released Posthumously. From The Earliest Stages Of Gallagher's Career The BBC Played An Important Part In Shaping His Musicianship. As A Boy He Refused To Go Outside If It Meant Missing The Saturday Club And Rushing Home For This Four O'clock Programme Which Dedicated Half An Hour To A Different Group Each Week. The Young Gallagher Considered These Broadcasts A Test To See If Bands Could Demonstrate The Same Musicisianship In A Spontaneous Performance As In The Studio. Starting With His First Band Taste Gallagher Had An Excellent Relation With Mike Raven And John Peel At BBC Radio. It Was For Peel That Gallagher Recorded The Songs In This Collection. To An Artist Who Opposed Releasing Singles The Sessions Collected Here On This Compilation Proved Invaluable In Allowing His Music To Reach New Fans. The Release Was Greeted With Moderately Good Reviews From The Music Press And Acclamation From Gallagher's Fans.
