Gallagher was voted as the 47th guitarist of all time by the Rolling Stones Magazine in 2015. His iconic 1961 Fender Stratocaster and the rest of his instrument collection, is heading for auction later this year, with the Stratocaster alone being valued at around £1m.
There has been a Gofundme campaign to purchase the legendary musician's guitar to showcase it in Cork. The fundraiser had raised over €25,000 so far.
