Boomtown Rats guitarist Garry Roberts dies aged 72
The Irish rock group described Roberts as “the guy who summed up the sense of who The Rats are”. …
They said: “On a clear spring evening in 1975, in a pub in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, Garry became the founding member of what turned out to be a great rock ‘n’ roll band, driven largely by that sound of his – a storm of massive considered noise that punched out from his overtaxed amplifiers and which animated not just the rest of the group but audiences he played to around the world.”
