Mark the date in your diaries, pop culture fans – Saturday May 31 will see two very interesting auctions take place in Whyte's Galleries, as as-good-as-new movie posters and a host of mouth-watering pop and rock memorabilia go under the hammer.

Noon sees the movie poster auction, while the rock & pop trading kicks off at 4pm. Among the big items heading to the highest bidder in the latter will be an original Rory Gallagher 'warm-up' amplifier the six-string legend acquired in LA during the mid '70s, as well as a replica of his first Strat (estimated value €5000-€7000), as well as signed Michael Jackson material and items from Irish artists including U2, The Cranberries, Boomtown Rats, Phil Lynott and more.

If you fancy a viewing, head alone to Whyte's Galleries on 28 Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 at these times:

Wednesday 28 May 10am-5pm; Thursday 29 May 10am to 7pm; Friday 30 May 10am to 7pm

Admission to the Saturday auction by Catalogue is €10 and admits two people.
