Rare Rory Gallagher items to be auctioned in Dublin

“Rory would visit Ballycotton where he was inspired to write material,” says his brother Donal. “This part of the country was very special to him and our family is delighted to be able to do this for Ballycotton RNLI. The volunteer lifeboat crew based there launches their lifeboat in all weathers and to all types of emergencies, saving lives at sea and helping those in trouble. I hope people who have a love of Rory’s music and are interested in the auction will take pleasure in knowing that in purchasing this incredible guitar and Rory’s own amp and flight case, that they are helping a great charity.”
The two items go under the hammer on May 31 as part of the Pop & Rock Memorabilia auction being staged at Whyte’s galleries in Molesworth Street. Viewing will take place on Thursday and Friday as well as the day itself.
