Brian May Attends the 2024 U.K. Red Special Meetup by dsgb
This video contains a selection of video clips filmed on my iPhone of Brian’s three hour visit to our enthusiast meet-up at the Holiday Inn Reading West which is close to Aldermaston in Berkshire. This is part 1 of a two part highlights package of this event.
Brian was still recovering from his recent stroke and did not confirm that he would attend until the morning of the meet-up. He lost some mobility in his arm as you might have read on social media and had not played guitar for about two months until today. Please bear this in mind when judging his playing.
Steve Prior is on guitar technician duties because Pete Malandrone is still recovering from a head injury and is not expected back at work for some time.
The clips are not presented in chronological order that they occurred.
