October 20, 2016, 8 years ago
A statue of Irish rock and blues legend, Rory Gallagher, is to be put up at Belfast's Ulster Hall, reports BBC News.
Belfast City Council's planning committee gave the proposal the go-ahead at a meeting on Tuesday night. The statue will be put up on Bedford Street at the side of the hall, where Gallagher played regularly throughout the Troubles in Northern Ireland. It was at a time when many other musicians and bands chose to stay away.
The proposal for the statue was made to the council by the Wilgar Community Forum in east Belfast. The decision will now go before the full council for approval.
