Not the usual mildly amusing sarcastic comments that usually accompany pictures due mainly to time constraints, or put another way I'm off on me hols tomorrow and just wanted to get these posted - enjoy

Thanks to Alan Taylor for taking them!!

Somehow I couldn't see my daughter looking quite as chuffed as these 2 chaps if she was having her picture taken with the one and only Alan Davey, but her loss is their gain!

I've thought long and hard about this one and have to say that I really can't think of a suitable caption that does this picture justice, so I'm going to hand it over to you lot out there for another caption competition, no prize again but if you can think of something appropriate then please

"Yeah, this was the shirt they made me wear for the audition, I was the fourth one up - right after Bill Ward, actually.  Charlie Watts was the first one to try out but he never got the gig because his hair was all wrong.  The second one who auditioned was Timmy Mallett and he couldn't even see over the snare drum.  But the bloke who came after me turned out to be Nik Turner wearing a wig, he'll try anything to get back into the band!"

"Uh oh, it's that Scottish guy again.  Is he gonna be drunk and jabber nonsense at me and tell me how much he likes Star Nation's Silver Age CD? Again. Or tell me how I'm the one and only real Hawkwind drummer and say things like "Simon King, Schmimon Schming, know what I mean?"....Right Val, I've got a plan....I want you to take a deep breath and inhale, and I'll tell him you're not going to let your breath go until he goes away.  I'll stare at him.  First one to blink.  Ready, go!  No, wait, it's OK, he's only going to take a picture of us, phew..."

"Arthur Brown, this is your life"

In another museum exclusive we can reveal that the position formerly occupied by both Eamon Andrews and Michael Aspell has now been taken over by the newly wed Hawk fan Rich, who's seen here during his first assignment with the "big red book", here's an excerpt

Rich - Now Arthur, you were born, er Arthur Brown on the, well quite a while ago

Arthur - And let me guess, "yes we've driven him here all the way from darkest Devon just to be here with you tonight, you haven't seen him since those few dates you did in May, it's your old mate Dave Brock., great I'm off to get changed for me headline show with Instant Flights tonight!"

Alternatively but far less believable, it could be Rich and Arin's wedding album!
