GARY MOORE’s Guitars To Go Up For Auction
January 16, 2016, 8 years ago
According to the Belfast Telegraph, late Thin Lizzy guitar legend Gary Moore's estate has hinted at a sale coming up later this year, with some instruments and amps being offered in online auctions.
For more than two decades Graham Lilley looked after Moore and his kit. Reports suggest that Moore owned lock-ups full of guitars, amplifiers, cabinets, pedals and much more.
Graham, who has been given the responsibility of organising the auction, said: "A chunk of it will be retained by the estate for the time being. But there's a lot of stuff left and it's made to be played, to make a noise with, so somebody should make a noise with it. It's just trying to find the best way to do it. Some of it might find its way to auction websites, so anybody can bid on it, fans for example, and get a little piece of that heritage. We're possibly looking at June, but there's no reason that the less-documented stuff couldn't go out before that."

Moore died from a heart attack in February 2011 aged 58 at a luxury hotel in Spain after an alcohol binge.
