Guitarist Gary Moore staged a performance to remember in Sofia's National Palace of Culture, changing five guitars and thrilling more than 3 000 fans.

Over two hours, Moore played some of his greatest hits, including "Still Got The Blues" and "Pretty Woman", but the playlist as a whole charted the development of the blues as a musical genre.

Even the less-than-perfect acoustics of the hall could not get in the way of a glorious performance and Moore's characteristic guitar solos.

The gig fully made up for the four-months delay, with fans forced to wait for the next window in Moore's busy schedule after he cancelled his concert scheduled for May.

The guitarist was scheduled to play a free concert in Sofia's downtown Battenberg Square as part of Bulgaria's celebrations of Europe's Day, but withdrew after catching a viral infection.
