The multi-talented May designed the patent-pending OWL viewer, which comes with the US$60 book — the latest string to his bow.
Not only did he build his unique Red Special guitar with his father, May is a doctor of astrophysics, co-author of Bang! The Complete History of the Universe, a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, the co-creator of hit rock theatrical We Will Rock You and the chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University.
Accustomed to playing giant stadiums, May was equally at home in a country barn presenting his work to the villagers.
“This, for us, is the fulfillment of a dream: to bring what we think is a priceless work of art home to its birthplace and to a new audience in the 21st century,” he said.
“This isn’t the biggest gig I’ve ever done, but it’s one of the more exciting ones.”
