Music icon’s guitar donated to bushfire appeal

Dr David English, first president of British Empire BeeGees Record Label, RSO Records, has donated an electric guitar signed by music icon Barry Gibb, to the Lloyds Auctions Bushfire Relief Auction.

“Along with my signed guitar, both Barry and I want to send our heartfelt best wishes to all the survivors both humans and animals of this tragedy engulfing Australia, which will always remain very close to our hearts. All our special love,” Dr English commented.

The BeeGees sold over 220 million records worldwide and were declared the third biggest selling record artist of all time.

Australia holds a close place in the hearts of the Gibb Brothers, after the family emigrated to Australia back in the late 50s. 

Bidding for the Bushfire Relief Charity Auction is now live at www.lloydsauctions.com.au or if you are in a position to donate an item or experience that people can bid on to raise vital funds, please call Lloyd’s Auctions on 1800 456 588.
