"Sixpence" in a Charity Shop Lot

Recommended Posts

I'm just rummaging through a large pile of foreign from a charity shop and got to the end with this left in the wtfit heap.

For your pleasure - one Brian May 1993 "Back to the Light" tour guitar pick. I guess I will get my tenner back today :)

As I understand it, very limited numbers for use by Mr May himself on the tours. I believe some were given away to lucky members of the crowd and a few sold.

This appears to be the rarest of all of the tour "sixpence" picks.

I actually saw this tour in Sheffield  about 1996-97 now if I remember rightly , I saw brian tour about three times as a solo artist , he used to do a two hour set and I used to enjoy seeing brian on his guitar .

I have seen the new queen but not with the new singer though after seeing them on ther new years specials its clear i have missed out

I am pretty sure this tour was about the time they started retailing these picks , I remember seeing them for sale for around a tenner 2006? Maybe.

there are probably different ones for different tours , at a guess yours is the rarest
