chART’s Patron Adam Masters raises thousands in the Madchester Guitar charity auction.
A guitar signed by the legendary Manchester Music Icons has sold for an amazing £6,600 in a charity auction.
The Madchester Guitar, which was sold through online auction site eBay, was covered in signatures from the likes of the Stone Roses, Oasis, Elbow, Mike Joyce, Rowetta, Johnny Marr, Shaun Ryder and Buzzcocks
The auction was won by an American music fan in Washington DC.
Adam said "I thought I could use my contacts in the music business to do some good." It took two years to get all the signatures, but he said musicians had been more than happy to get their name on the instrument. Every single artist I've asked to sign the guitar was really happy to get involved. Not one said no," he said.
Suzanne, Jackie & Carol would like to thank Adam from the bottom of our hearts. The amount of work which has been put into this project is absolutely amazing. Thank you for donating the proceeds to 2 children’s hospices which chART support and thank you for being such an amazing, kind and caring guy.
