    Yes, I'd MUCH prefer that one to the one used for the musical.

    Thanks, Bill. That was my instinct, too. I am sure that there are many photos taken by fans that would be appropriate, especially the more recent ones.
    I am not that au fait with all of this Wikipedia stuff, so any assistance would be appreciated.

    Don't know anymore than you do Stevieboy, re Wiki. Did look up photo rights and it says this:

    "Guidelines for images and other media files
    Images, photographs, video and sound files, like written works, are subject to copyright. Someone holds the copyright unless they have been explicitly placed in the public domain. Images, video and sound files on the internet need to be licensed directly from the copyright holder or someone able to license on their behalf. In some cases, fair use guidelines may allow them to be used irrespective of any copyright claims; see Wikipedia:Non-free content for more.

    Image description pages must be tagged with a special tag to indicate the legal status of the images, as described at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Untagged or incorrectly-tagged images will be deleted.

    Questions about media copyright may be directed to Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, which is generally staffed by volunteers familiar with Wikipedia's media copyright guidelines and policies."

    To use a Charlie Gray photo would definitely require permission, but Moll mentioned trying to get it - never hurts to ask!
