John Gallagher is pictured with his Transparent Purple Hamer B12S 12-string bass in this article about the band Raven and their upcoming appearance at the Hellfest 2010 Summer Open Air music festival in Clisson, France. Given Rock Hard magazine’s large 9” by 12” format, this double page photo is especially impressive. The article is an interview with Gallagher along with an extensive review of all Raven’s albums.
Two other photos of Gallagher and his Hamer B12S 12-string bass are included. Note that he is a fingerstyle player and also lead vocalist for the band.
