Jurek Gibadło (Guitarist Magazine) about Gałach: It’s nice to look at such artists…Gałach is only 29 – it’s still a puppy age in blues…- but that didn’t stop him from  recording on many polish and international festivals, he also got many awards and played as a guest on many albums…This musician from Katowice is  just extraordinarily talented.
