2023 Red Special Meetup | Simon Bradley Appreciation Award

Hello all.
In this video we look back at a favourite moment of many people from the Red Special Guitar Meet-Up in 2023.
I was joined on stage by former Guitarist journalist, guitar player, co author of the Red Special Book and all round lovely chap Simon Bradley.
Simon had been instrumental in providing information and reviews on all things Brian May in Guitarist magazine for the last 20 years, which you can hear about in his podcast on the channel.
What a lot of people didn’t know is that Simon doesn’t own a Red Special - well he didn’t until the wonderful people of the Red Special Community led by Thomas Brunkard and Ben Belben (to name a few) crowdfunded and then facilitated the construction of a one of a kind guitar just for him.
Join me as we see build up to Simon being given his new guitar, a guitar he knew nothing about.
This is the stuff that makes the Red Special Community the best online community there is and why the meet-ups are so important to bridge the gap and humanise everyone.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy.
