Brian May Presents… Queen in 3-D Cheltenham Literary Festival

Update 7 Sep 207 – THIS EVENT NOW SOLD OUT!!

— — —

We are happy to announce that the Full Programme for The Times and The Sunday Times Cheltenham Literary Festival – running 6-15 October 2017 – has now been revealed.

Fans of Queen and Brian May and his 3-D photography will be pleased to know that he will be giving a talk on Tuesday 10 October 2017 8:00 – 9:00pm.

 

Cheltenham Literay Festival 2017 line-up

 

A unique opportunity to view the legendary guitarist’s personal snapshots of over four decades with Queen. Moments from backstage, on the road and on stage are presented in stunning 3-D, accompanied by Brian’s recollections. 3-D glasses will be provided.

Many books have been written about Queen, but this is a first – an intimate view from the inside by a founder band member; it’s also the first history of any rock group ever to be created in 3-D.

“The whole process of writing this new kind of book was almost subconscious. As I looked at the 3-D photos, memories were triggered and the stories poured out. It’s the 3-D element that makes it so evocative. I believe each image will draw readers in deeper, like me, inviting them to immerse themselves in a scene, to share a previously unseen Queen moment.

Brian May”

“There’s no ghost writer for this book. It’s just me.” – Brian May

Brian and robog

With these words, the author announces the first book ever to be published about the legendary rock band Queen by a member of the band. And certainly the first book of its kind in the world. It’s a unique collection of original, highly personal snapshots of Queen in Three Dimensions, from the band’s inception in the early ’70s right up to the present day, accompanied by the exclusive recollections of founding member and lead guitarist, Brian May.

Brian’s typically honest account of his experiences within and without the band, including many extreme highs and lows, bravely opens the door to his feelings, beliefs and motivations on this trip though an extraordinary life. T

his book will entrance millions of Queen fans; but it will also inspire anyone who wonders what they might learn from a man who used his intellect, musical talent, and ability to make the transition from college boy to rock star in just a few years, and then go on building creatively for the next forty!

The book is illustrated with over 300 photographs, the majority actually taken by Brian, and mostly in 3-D. These shots of Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, Roger Taylor, and Brian himself, on and off stage all round the world, spring into life when viewed with Brian’s patent OWL viewer (supplied free with the book).

Through the eyes of Brian’s camera you are transported back in time to experience Queen’s miraculous 46-year journey as if you were actually there ]] whether in a dressing room, in a car, on a plane, or on stage at Madison Square Garden. The three dimensional stereoscopic images (the precursor of Virtual Reality) immerse and engage you in the atmosphere of the moment as no flat 2-D picture ever could. (London Stereoscopic Company)

Queen in 3-D: Book signing with Brian May – Waterstones

Queen in 3-D: Book signing with Brian May
Friday 26th May 18:00 at Waterstones, London – Piccadilly

Queen in 3-D (Hardback)
Brian May

Waterstones Piccadilly is delighted to welcome Queen guitarist Brian May to sign copies of his new book, Queen in 3-D, a stereoscopic masterpiece capturing the legacy of Queen through the rock star’s own 3-D camera lenses.

Many books have been written about Queen, but this is a first – an intimate view from the inside by a founder band member; it’s also the first history of any rock group ever to be created in 3-D. Not only has Brian May written the book (no ‘ghost writer’ here), but the 3-D illustrations were all captured with Brian’s stereoscopic cameras, mostly by the man himself. From an early age Brian would travel with a stereo (3-D) camera in hand, so on Queen tours and during recordings he was able to capture rare behind-the-scenes moments of one of the world’s greatest rock bands. Decades later these are now being shared for the very first time. Some of the photographs had not even been fully processed until the book was in the making. Initially thought by Brian to be a quick job, this project turned into a labour of love for May and his team which spanned three years. Each time the book seemed to be close to completion, more 3-D photos were found in forgotten hiding places, prompting further memories and filling in the gaps in the narrative. The book eventually became a compelling set of snapshots of Brian’s life and the life of Queen, over more than 50 years.

Queen in 3-D, by Brian May, Published by The London Stereoscopic Company

Entry is free. Access to the queue is on a first come first served basis. Brian May will be signing copies of ‘Queen in 3D’ only, please note other merchandise will not be signed at this event.
