Signed guitar coming up soon on Ebay

In February there was a huge benefit gig for victims of the Asian tsunami. After the event SoundControl in Bristol donated a top quality 'Avalon' guitar (pictured), worth around £1,500, which was subsequently signed by a whole load of our favourite pop people. Signatures include Portishead, Damon Albarn, Massive Attack, The Coral and Robert Plant. Here's the exciting bit: from Saturday 25th June this guitar will be available on eBay for one week until the G8 rally in Edinburgh. All proceeds will go straight to Oxfam.

As Massive Attack's guitarist Angelo Bruschini says: "We're really happy to have done our bit to help Oxfam with their tsunami relief work. Hopefully through events like these, they will be able to spread the word even more widely, and help people to understand that anyone can make a difference by getting involved." And our very own Ben Littlejohn points out that the guitar "is an enticing one-off for any fan or collector, and the winning bidder will be doing their bit to help Oxfam at the same time as adding this truly unique item to their collection."
