Tánaiste Micheál Martin has hinted that one of the State’s cultural institutions could move to buy Rory Gallagher’s signature Fender Stratocaster guitar, when it goes up for auction later this week.

To discuss, Andrea is joined by Bernard Mulvaney from Access For All Ireland, Alan Buckley, Head Tour Guide at the Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum Experience, Sheena Crowley from Crowley's Music Centre in Cork and more.
