Own a piece of music history in the Forever Manchester charity auction

Following the success of the 2020 charity auction, Forever Manchester has opened up bids on another collection of super limited musical items.

Due to an influx of late donations, bidding has been extended until Sun 31 Oct, meaning there’s still a chance to get your hands on an eclectic mix of items from Manchester’s illustrious musical past and present.

Included in the auction is: a VIP Package for The Halle Orchestra, a handwritten poem and merchandise by Dr John Cooper Clarke, a signed box set by New Order, signed drumsticks by Smiths drummer Mike Joyce and a t-shirt, In Isolation CD & cassette all signed by Blossoms.

Also on offer is the opportunity to record a session at Black Triangle Studios, a personal message from Clint Boon, a podcast recording with Capital Radio’s Wingman, VIP Warehouse Project Tickets, VIP tickets to Strictly Come Dancing at the AO Arena and much, much more.

Last year’s auction raised a vital £8k for community groups across Greater Manchester. This time round, the organisation has already managed to notch up £4.5k at the time of writing, and with a tonne of impressive pieces around until 10pm Sunday, that target looks set to be exceeded this time round.

Head over to the Forever Manchester website to see the full list of unique items, place your bids and make a donation to an incredibly worthy cause.
