Scottish superstar Paolo Nutini has sent Lurgan fan Jay Beatty his signed guitar which is now a top prize for those wishing to donate to Down’s and Proud.

Down’s & Proud, in conjunction with McKinney Competitions, has launched a very special raffle where all proceeds will go to its charity.

"We were so lucky that the brilliant Paolo Nutini sent us over his signed guitar and signed merchandise for this raffle. Thank you so much Paolo,” said Martin Beatty.

"Tickets are only £1.99, the draw will take place on Thursday 13th of August. We would be so grateful if you could purchase a ticket.”

Up for grabs is a personally signed guitar played by Paolo Nutini himself – ‘a truly unique collector’s item from one of the UK’s most soulful and acclaimed artists’.

“Whether you're a lifelong fan, music lover or collector, this incredible piece of music history is a one-of-a-kind prize that money simply can't buy,” said McKinney Competitions.

"Enter now for your chance to own a genuine piece of Paolo Nutini memorabilia while supporting an amazing local charity making a real difference in the community.”

“Your entry not only gives you a chance to win this incredible prize but also helps highlight the fantastic work carried out by Downs & Proud.”
