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.

Mike Grose's guitar
I met up with Mike again yesterday. Here he is holding the remains of the guitar that he played when he was with Queen. It was a Fender Precision that he'd had imported from the States in 1963....Fantastic.
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:
When I bought his Fender he never gave me these bits .......... still waiting !!!
