Exclusives

Since setting up Rewriting Rory in November 2021, we have been deeply moved by the positive feedback we have received from Rory fans, as well as those close to him. The many connections we have made and conversations we have had over the past eight months have been so inspiring, and reiterate over and over again just what a special, kind soul Rory was. It is our absolute pleasure to do our small bit to keep his legacy alive.

As a gift to all our followers, we are excited to present this Exclusives section to our website, which will be updated regularly with new or previously unpublished interviews with friends of Rory or musicians who have worked with him. We hope you enjoy it!
