A white Dunlop guitar plectrum which was used on stage by David Bowie during a performance at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, Glasgow on the 28th November 2008. David's name is printed on the plectrum in black.
The condition is very good plus.
Provenance: obtained at the performance and accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the recipient which reads: 'I'd often seen guitarists at concerts, like Keith Richards, fire their plectrums into an audience, like bullets! I'd wondered if anyone ever actually managed to catch them, or would they just end up as litter on the dark crowded floor. I was very near the stage at David Bowie's concert in Glasgow's S.E.C.C. Hall. I remember the moment - like slow motion! The plectrum was thrown above himself and not AT the audience. It seemed to float down. Slowly. Like a leaf. I could see it, almost hovering in my direction. I remember thinking, in that moment... I'm going to be shoved aside by a sea of arms, stretching up to catch it. But NO! It was as though No one had noticed. It headed straight towards me. I caught it!! And I couldn't believe my luck!!'
