Queen are the 5th highest selling recording artists of all time.
They played their first concert in Truro, Cornwall, and made many visits in the late sixties (as 'Smile') and early 70's (as 'Queen'). Prior to joining 'Smile' and forming 'Queen' Roger Taylor gigged all over Cornwall with his band 'The Reaction'.
This blog is an attempt to document these musicians and concerts in preparation for a book and fan club event.

Queen: The Early Years
This book by Mark Hodkinson is a good account of how Queen were formed, and where they lived and played in the early days. The author is not a fan, though, and is very keen to point this out!
If anyone visiting this blog has anything however small or seemingly trivial relevant to the project please contact Rupert via queenincornwall@gmail.com
The Queen in Cornwall book is currently for sale on Ebay. This is a limited print run of books - all signed - that I am currently distributing from my own home:
