Also on show are the vintage Marshall’s that were also such a part of one of the most remarkable solo sounds of recent years.

Though born in 1952, a few years after most of the guitar superstars who emerged in the mid-1960s, Moore drew on the same musical roots and was among the last of the generation of British (Anglo-Irish in his case, if you prefer) guitar players who reinvigorated the Blues in the last half of the 20th Century. As a child in Belfast, Northern Ireland in the ‘60s, he listened intently to the emerging guitar slingers who redefined the sound of the electric guitar, ripping it away from the whistle-clean tones of Hank Marvin and the Shadows, supplanting it with the darker and more menacing sound invented, more or less, by Eric Clapton, himself channelling the Blues from its American originators.
