Paul Brady and Thurston Moore get behind charity campaign
The Guitar Rescue, which centers around a Fender Squier Telecaster, is aiming to raise funds for Cancer Research.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 31 Jan 2013
Hot Press is most intrigued to hear about The Rescue Guitar, a Fender Squier Telecaster that was spotted lying forlornly in a Limerick dump.
Now nursed back to full health, the idea is to have it signed by as many musos as possible and then auctioned for Cancer Research.
Already getting behind the project are Paul Brady and Thurston Moore who know a loved guitar when they see one!
Any other top rock ‘n’ rollers and popsters who’d like to lend their support should visit http://www.facebook.com/RescueGuitar
If we ask very nicely perhaps Bruce, Steve, Nils and the rest of the lads will scribble on it when they come to Thomond Park.

Six weeks ago, Hot Press presented a detailed set of 27 Questions on the mandatory fluoridation of the water supply in Ireland to the Minister of State at the Department of Health with responsibility for the policy, Alex White TD. Since then, there has been a further upsurge in the campaign against fluoridation, with a growing wave of international opposition being mirrored here. In the past month alone, Israel has decided to end its policy of mandatory fluoridation, while in Ireland, Skibbereen Town Council has voted to oppose the policy – and will be lobbying for a similar vote among town councils all over the country...
