Today we have the pleasure of the company of the acclaimed singer, songwriter, lead guitar player and all round nice guy Steven Battelle. Steven is a professional musician and original member of his band Lost Alone, who have toured all around the world. Stevens most recent work has been touring with McFly with his band Lost Alone as a warm up act. McFly had asked them to tour as Steven had worked with them for their recent Power To Play album. I met Steven at the Starfleet Launch earlier this year and after we realised who we each were we exchanged information and arranged for Steven to come on to the podcast. As you will see and hear Steven sites Queen as his inspiration for getting in to music.

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.
