I heard through a friend that Porl Thompson is auctioning off all his old gear. I can't find any information anywhere though. Does anyone know anything about this? where/when etc?
Thanks

This was done a few years back. I'm not sure if you are refering to a particular auction in general, but I distinctly remember a few of his guitars (ones of the 4tour) being sold online through guitar shops in the UK.
He may be selling more equipment, but this is all I can recall.
Thanks Andrew
I managed to find out that there is an auction of over 100 items including guitars, amps, artwork, stage clothing and other memorabilia. It is on 19th May. Catalogue comes out on Monday.
Cheers
