Irish uilleann piper maestro Davy Spillane in his tribute to Rory
Gallagher (Hot Press, Vol.19, No.13, 12 July 1995) remembers:

"On an album called "Out of the Air", Rory dropped in one time to play
on a couple of tracks. It was an electric blues album I made with a
lot ot the Moving Hearts. He was In Dublin and he was free for a
while so we asked him would he come down to do a few things with us
and he did. He played a guitar that I provided him which is a
thirty-year-old lady-size harmony guitar which he played on a track
we did with impromptu guitar and low whistle ["One for Phil"]. He was
very gen erous with his time, friendly, accessible and showed an
interest at a time when not that many people were all that focused on
that kind of things."
