Overview

• The signed Epiphone Riviera guitar from Noel and Liam Gallagher will serve as the centerpiece of Manchester's 'Music for the Senses' art trail this summer.
• The guitar is currently on display at Selfridges on Exchange Square and will be auctioned in September to raise funds for grassroots music venues and projects in the city.
• The 'Music for the Senses' initiative features up to 50 artist-adorned guitars and an interactive installation of over 100 repurposed instruments by artist Liam Hopkins.
• Oasis's five-night homecoming concerts at Heaton Park in July will anchor Manchester's summer-long 'Manchester Live 25' music program, expected to draw 1.3 million tourists.
• A public callout is underway for guitar donations to contribute to the art trail and auction, with all donors credited as part of the project.
