Poll: Should the State buy Rory Gallagher's guitar?

His iconic Stratocaster will be put on sale later this year.

THE TÁNAISTE HAS said he will discuss the possibility of the State purchasing the guitar of legendary blues guitarist Rory Gallagher with Arts Minister Catherine Martin.

The Fender Stratocaster, which Gallagher purchased on credit for £100 in Crowley’s Music Store in Cork in 1963, will be up for auction at Bonham’s auction house in London later this year. It’s estimated value is between £700,000 and £1 million.

Speaking over the weekend, Tánaiste Micheál Martin said: “It would be lovely if we could get that guitar back on the Leeside”

He said he will raise the matter with Minister for Arts Catherine Martin.

Gallagher was an inspiration to musicians in Ireland and across the world, selling more than 30 million copies worldwide during his 30 year career.

So today we’re asking: Should the State buy Rory Gallagher’s guitar?

    Absolutely! In an interview with Rolling Stone, Jimi Hendrix was asked, “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” He is believed to have answered, “I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher.”

    When touring in the US Rory would regularly check the pawn shops for unique guitars and other instruments. He built up an enviable collection this way. A lot of which were displayed at that exhibition.

    On previous occasions the State has been slow to intervene to secure historical artifacts – In 2003 at an auction in London the Polar Medal which was awarded Kerry native Tom Crean was bought by a private collector from abroad for 25,300 pounds sterling.
    Tom Crean completed three expeditions to Antarctica and the government should have purchased that historically significant medal for the National Museum. Ironically Tom Crean received more recognition from other countries than in his own country of Ireland.
    Apart from the medals he was awards by British Royals in more recent time’s

    What museum would it be displayed in? There is no point in buying it and not letting everyone see it.

    In an economic climate where people in full-time employment live in squats and tents because of the housing crisis, how can spending nearly three quarters of a milion euros on a souvenir be anything other than criminal?

    No, let it go to someone who will appreciate it. Irish government always trying to cash in, horrible bunch of bloated bureaucrats. Should it be in a museum or cared for collection? Absolutely, but it should be privately owned. They want to control everything, destroying our heritage after wrecking our culture. Ask any 20 something year old what it means to be Irish, what characterizations from our past to we bear forward? You will be disappointed though as their answer will fall into the Ireland Inc category.

    The monuments and artifact story from a few days ago should be an eye opener, if we’re not ‘allowed’ look in our own back yards for our ancestors story then what does that say? It screams suppression, the U.K have a great system for amateur finds why not have similar here? unless you’re hiding the truth.

    We don’t yet understand the value of ‘culture’ or ‘heritage’ so I cant imagine people will want to spend anything.
