Created in support of Pancreatic Cancer Action
This mural was unveiled in November 2024 in partnership with leading UK charity Pancreatic Cancer Action as a tribute to the late Andy Rourke, beloved bassist of The Smiths, who passed away in May 2023 aged 59 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Located on the side of the Wheatsheaf Pub on Oak Street in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, an area where Rourke lived and loved, the mural has quickly become a focal point for fans, raising just under £30,000. Donations can still be made via the QR code on the mural.
The Auction
At the end of Music for the Senses the decorated guitars will be auctioned to raise money to support grassroots music projects and venues throughout Greater Manchester via a dedicated music fund managed by our charity partner Forever Manchester, in collaboration with Manchester Music City.
The auction takes place on Friday 12 September at the Hallé St Peter’s in Ancoats, Manchester. Register your interest now in attending.
