A SCOTTISH Nirvana fan who was handed a scrap of paper containing the grunge band’s set list after a concert is selling the piece of rock history for £5,000.

Dave Rennie, of Forres, Moray, went to see the lauded Seattle rockers at the Rhein-Rock Festival in Cologne, Germany in August 1991 - a month before the release of their seminal album Nevermind.

After the late Kurt Cobain smashed up his guitar on stage at the end of the performance, a technician came on to clear up the broken pieces.

Dave, now a 49-year-old logistics supervisor, managed to attract his attention and was handed the piece of A4 plain paper that had been taped to the floor in front of Cobain.

He said: "I can remember their performance, they were amazing.

"Kurt Cobain smashed his guitar up at the end and walked off while we were all chanting for an encore.

"Then the guitar technician came on stage and handed me the set list, which had taped to the floor in front of Cobain.

"When he sadly killed himself I did think it was probably something worth keeping hold of.

"Ever since I have just kept it along with the festival ticket inside a plastic sleeve in a pile of other stuff I've accumulated over the years.

"Then recently I saw online that a Nirvana set list had sold for quite a lot, that's when I looked in to selling mine.”

Cobain used a black marker pen to list the eight songs the fledgling band played on the piece of paper.

The band's best known track - Smells Like Teen Spirit - is not one of those listed but was played at the gig.

Dave has kept the treasured piece of paper for the last 25 years and is now selling it for an estimated £5,000 at Omega Auctions in Cheshire.

He is also selling his ticket for the gig, on which Nirvana are listed at the bottom of the bill.

Nirvana purposefully turned up late for the event so they could perform higher up the bill when the crowd was bigger. As a result their set was reduced in length.

Dave added: "I had read about Nirvana in various publications beforehand but I certainly wasn't a fan - yet.

"We all ended up buying Nirvana T-shirts at the end, which goes to show how impressed we were.”

Nirvana became a household name within months of the release of Nevermind in September 1991. It went on the sell 30 million copies worldwide.

Cobain married fellow rocker Courtney Love in 1992 but killed himself in 1994 by shooting himself in the head aged 27.

Having died just a few years into his career, Cobain-related memorabilia is scarce.

A spokesman for Omega Auctions said: "It's incredibly rare to see things with Kurt Cobain's handwriting come up, whenever they do they fetch very high prices.

"Anything in his hand commands a high price.

"He had such a short lived career so there's not a great deal of memorabilia around.

"Nirvana changed the landscape of music in the early 1990s and are so well acclaimed even today, which is why there are so many collectors.

"The provenance of this item is excellent as it's actually been consigned by the man who was there and received it on the day.

"Footage of the performance shows the bit of paper being handed to him."

The sale takes place on February 13.
