Denis O’Regan: Through the Lens of Queen – An Exclusive Experience

Step into the fascinating history of Queen through the lens of Denis O’Regan, a renowned photographer who has captured some of the biggest names in rock. From David Bowie to The Rolling Stones, via Duran Duran, Pink Floyd, KISS, AC/DC, and many more, he has worked with the legends of music.

In this exceptional conference, Denis O'Regan will share his unique memories of Queen, from his first shots of the band in 1975 to Freddie Mercury's last concert in Knebworth in 1986.

He will unveil never-before-seen photos, some never before published, and tell exclusive anecdotes about their greatest moments backstage. These include his privileged experiences at the legendary Live Aid and the spectacular Magic Tour, where he was able to observe and capture the incredible energy of the stage and the chemistry between the band members.

A rare opportunity to see Queen from a unique perspective, told by one of the greatest rock photographers of all time!

Conference on Sunday 7 September at 10h00

Greg Brooks (Queen Archivist) & Jim Jenkins (Biographer)

Together, they will take you through key moments of Queen’s career with exclusive anecdotes and photos.

Discover the behind-the-scenes stories of the iconic music videos Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free, and Friends Will Be Friends, featuring exclusive images and fascinating insights into their creation.

We will also celebrate the anniversaries of Bohemian Rhapsody, A Night At The Opera, and Made In Heaven, revisiting the impact of these legendary albums and the very first live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody in Liverpool, a historic moment that Jim personally witnessed.

This will be an informal relaxed hour with two of the world’s most acknowledged Queen experts, both of whom are huge fans first and foremost, with unparalleled knowledge of the band both on and off stage. Greg and Jim will share exclusive material, revealed only to the attendees of this conference, and answer any questions too.
