EMERGENCY UNICEF UKRAINE APPEAL AUCTION! - Elvis Costello autographed guitar

Local gentleman Steve Hacker has kindly donated a Galveston guitar, autographed by Elvis Costello, with all sale proceeds going to Unicef to help provide the children of Ukraine with water, food and shelter.

All premiums have been waived with every penny going towards the charity.

Provenance from the seller:

"The guitar was originally a gift to Roger Goodgroves from his then-girlfriend who used Roger's music contacts to get Elvis to sign the guitar. Roger is well known in the industry himself as a music photographer (and still a massive Elvis Costello fan.)  Please visit Roger's website for more about him - www.goodgroves.co.uk. From Roger ...... 'I got it as a gift from my ex (hence the constant reminder of the past and therefore would like rid). She got it signed for me by using my contacts in the record company and PR agency.'

 I have owned the guitar since acquiring it from Roger in 2011 - it has not been played a great deal and I would rather it helped make a difference to those in need."
