05 Nov 2022 | Brian May - Episode 20 | 01:16:47 | |
Hello there 👋 Welcome to the home of the Red Special Guitar Podcast.
In this instalment today we are talking to Dr Brian Harold May himself. If you don’t know the story of the Red Special then you are in for a treat as Brian and his Dad built the guitar out of necessity when Brian was a 16 year old boy. What is more impressive is that he has used that same guitar not only through his whole recording career with Queen but he has also used it live every night on every tour for almost 60 years. In the episode we talk about everything from building the guitar, politics, animals, the Worldwide Red Special Community, his relationship with his dad Harold. This was a real honour for me to get to sit down with Bri and talk about all of this. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it.
You can check out Brian’s website here https://brianmay.com/

Hello there 👋 Welcome to the home of the Red Special Guitar Podcast. Today we have the pleasure of the company of the one and only Tim Staffell. Tim was friends with Brian May and Roger Taylor and was in a number of bandswith Brian and Roger adj as 1984 and most famously Smile.

Tim and I take a deep dive in to his memories from those early years and where his career has taken him. From Music to Film Making and back to Music. This really is a fascinating conversation and a great insight in to Tim's life and career. Tim's third solo album, 'Wayward Child' is coming out this year.
