In 1965, Rory formed a 3 piece band with the bassist and drummer from a band that he was in called The Impact. In 1966, Rory formed the trio Taste in Cork with Eric Kitteringham (bass) and Norman Damery (drums). Taste played in Hamburg, Cork, Dublin, and elsewhere in Ireland, securing a regular booking at the Maritime Hotel, R&B club in Belfast. In 1968 Rory formed a new Taste with Richard McCracken (bass) and John Wilson (drums). Taste performed until 1970. Their last show was at the Isle of Wight Festival. Rory went on to form the Rory Gallagher Band.

Before becoming a solo star, Rory Gallagher fronted the blues-rock trio Taste , which experienced reasonable success in the U.K. in the late '60s and early '70s. Taste were molded very much on the model of Cream , adding some folk, pop, and jazz elements to a blues-rock base, and featuring a virtuosic guitarist. They weren't in the same eague as Cream , particularly in the songwriting department, and were (like Cream ) prone to occasional blues-rock bombast. But they weren't a bad band in their own right,  exhibiting a lighter touch than most British Blues boom  outfits.
