Moore is a Northern Irish guitarist. In a career dating back to the 1960s, he has played with artists including Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II, Greg Lake and the blues-rock band, Skid Row, as well as having a successful solo career. Among many cameo appearances over the years, he performed the lead guitar solo on "She's My Baby" from Traveling Wilburys Volume 3.

Two stints in Thin Lizzy meant his prominence became far wider but success has come in solo and group format, his 'Parisienne Walkways' hit being a staple of many covers bands' repertoire, although the solo remains a tricky 'note-for-note' challenge and should be approached with caution by the unwary. Now performing blues almost exclusively, he remains an outstanding live performer.
