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.

Richard Halliwell
Richard was not in The Reaction but was one of Roger Taylor's best friends at Truro School. Then known as Dick, he is one of only a few people who has seen all of Roger's groups play: Beat Unlimited, Reaction, Smile and Queen. He has some good stories: one of them being a trip to Exeter to see The Kinks and The Herd in 1968. He remembers, that day, both he and Roger wearing white sailor's trousers that they'd bought from an army and navy store in Falmouth. Thanks Richard.
