This is my four minute highlights package of the 2022 U.K. Brian May Red Special enthusiast meetup held at Theale Village Hall, Reading, Berkshire. The meet-up has been organised since 2017 by Jon Underhill, host of the Red Special Guitar podcast; Jon has been instrumental in growing the scope and attendance and ensuring the success and sustainability of this niche event.
This year, we were fortunate to have Arielle, Andy Guyton, Nigel Knight, Simon Bradley and Pete Malandrone giving up their time to chat, mingle, donate items to the charity raffle and sign memorabilia. People attended from the USA, Mexico, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Sweden, Japan, The Republic of Ireland and the U.K. including Scotland and Wales. The Brian May Red Special enthusiast community feels like an extended family and is very friendly, hence the theme this year: "Friends Will Be Friends". I thank you all!
Please visit my website, dsgb.net to read a summary of the day illustrated with many photographs. I have covered the previous meet-ups held at Theale Village Hall and there is a wealth of information on my Brian May Red Special guitar build and modification projects and musical equipment.
