Earlier this week it was announced that Rory Gallagher's iconic 1961 Stratocaster is to be auctioned later this year, along with his collection of musical equipment.
Gallagher famously purchased the Strat – thought to be the first to be sold in Ireland – for £100 from Crowley’s Music Store in Cork in 1963. And now the daughter of the man who sold the guitar has launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring it back home.
