A restored 1920’s mandolin which Ror Gallagher played some tunes on is being gifted to Ballyshannon & District museum and the timing of the handover tomorrow, Friday, is perfect as thousands gather in Ballyshannon for the annual Rory Gallagher International Festival.

At 11.30am tomorrow the museum will hold a reception to celebrate the gifting of a a vintage George La Foley mandolin which was rescued from a rubbish bin outside Crymbles Music Store in Belfast in the early 70's by Joseph Cohen.

Although the mandolin was in a very poor condition Mr Cohen, an employee of Crymbles, and a work colleague lovingly restored the 1920's instrument. The original strings have never been replaced.
