THE signed belongings of some of the gods of rock and roll are to be put up for sale at a forthcoming auction.

The auction, by Ryedale Auctioneers in Kirkbymoorside, will be a live online webcast auction at 11am tomorrow (Friday).

Angus Ashworth, who runs the auctioneers, said it will be one of their most exciting auctions.

"It's a small sale but an interesting one, so it should be good," he said.

"There's a lot of John Lennon stuff, including a handwritten note and a signed copy of the Double Fantasy album by him and Yoko."

Mr Ashworth added that there are also items from the Beatles, Captain Beefheart, Andy Warhol, the Travelling Willburys and a "very impressive" life-size lithograph of Keith Richards.

There is also a jacket belonging to Lennon and a jacket belonging to Jimi Hendrix.

Items are available to view at their main saleroom in Kirkbymoorside until 7pm today (Thursday) and just before the auction tmorrow (Friday) from 9am to 11am.
