I know that's a joke but he genuinely has a very international fan base, you should see ballyshannon on June Bank Holiday, it is choc a bloc with camper vans from all over Europe. I can't think of any other irish artist or festival that generates that interest , he may not have the U2 record sales but I doubt u2 would generate that interest, I know they did back in 80s and 90s but not now. Gallagher fan base is fiercely loyalThe biggest problem is that most of his fans are from Cork and Cork people are too mean to pay into a museum.
Daniel O'Donnell springs to mind, age group of his fans probably in line with Gallaghers fan baseI know that's a joke but he genuinely has a very international fan base, you should see ballyshannon on June Bank Holiday, it is choc a bloc with camper vans from all over Europe.

Note to self……..you should see ballyshannon on June Bank Holiday, it is choc a bloc with camper vans from all over Europe.
What, you don't like the smell of damp clothes and middle-aged virginity?Note to self……..
I made that point aswell, the guitar is only valuable now it wasn't back then, not monetary anyway. I think alot of it is to do with YouTube if that didn't exist Gallagher would be largely forgotten about but because there is so much quality footage on YouTube the guitar is now synonymous with his powerful live performances. Gallagher uniquely for 1970s and 80s had alot of his live performances recorded in very high quality, can thank german , Dutch and British TV companies for that. The bigger acts of the day didn't have so much material broadcast on TV as they were more commercial so we're more interested in selling records and live videos than giving free performances to TV. That is now standing to Gallagher as his legacy grows not diminishesIt seems that the guitar, mandolin, sax, harmonica and amps collection was either unloved and unvalued in 1995 or someone neglected to contemplate parting with them.
How times can change . . .
He doesn't have massive viewing figures on YouTube though, so I think it's more a niche underground following. No doubt the guitar has value to some, but the suggested price would put it amongst the most expensive of all time.I think alot of it is to do with YouTube if that didn't exist Gallagher would be largely forgotten about but because there is so much quality footage on YouTube the guitar is now synonymous with his powerful live performances.
