Hope this ain't too obnoxious, but I posted this in a thread in the OT section and didn't want it to get buried because there are a lot of rare, cool photos here that I think some people would really appreciate but might not see if I didn't start a thread for it. Hope that's okay Mods!

The Charisma All-Stars. When Charisma launched the first Monty Python album, they held a little soiree and celebrated with a football (soccer to us Americans) match between the Pythons and the Charisma All Stars. Peter Hammill (bottom right) was the captain. The team also included Phil Collins (top left), Paul Conroy (bottom left; Charisma staffer who went on to become a very heavy hitter at Virgin) and two members of Capability Brown. The Charisma All Stars defeated the Pythons and accepted the prize of the Golden Y-Fronts!

Photo posted by Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders) who was at the Peter Hammill / Gary Lucas concert in London a few weeks ago. Other celebs who were there include Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and B J Cole (famed pedal steel player). Chrissy still looks great, and posted this on her Facebook page: "Hey look! It's me with the legend known as Peter Hammill after his show at London's Union Chapel last week where he enthralled fans with new songs performed by himself and that other legend, Gary Lucas. It really was duelling guitars all round creating a strangely surreal/sci-fi like atmosphere in the beautiful surrounding of the arched, blue-lit geometry of the dome. (Yes, I sound like I'm writing it up for the Guardian or the NME but IN FACT - for your eyes only my FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK.) Good gig it was."
