Some good photos on the BeesWeb site but nothing to tell us who the guest vocalists are. I think one is Judith Owen, another I'm guessing is his daughter Kami but the 3rd singer I have no idea. Also, anyone know who the young guitarist is (photos towards the bottom of page 1)?

That's Christine Collister at the top (I think)...

I think you're right there. I've just looked her up on Google Images and one of the photos is actually of her and RT on BeesWeb back in 2002...

Did she support Richard & Danny on a tour back in the 90s? DM might have been with them too. I have a vague recollection of her joining them for a song or two during the main set. Saw them at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh.

Christine's been occasionally guesting with Richard ever since she left the band in, what, 1989?

So we have Christine, Judith, Kami.  The young lad on guitar and vocals was discussed somewhere on here...but I can't remember what the conclusion was without searching.  He's a son or Grandson isn't he?

Methinks on second guitar and backing vocals that's young Jack Thompson, son of RT and Nancy.  He accompanied us on the 2007 American invasion of Oxfordshire, but I was not properly introduced.  He was a mere sapling then.

Sorry Chris, but nope.
It is grandson Zak Hobbs, eldest son of Muna Mascolo - Thompson
