Two signed Roger albums up for auction!
Queen fan Craig Jenkinson 'found' both Fun In Space and Strange Frontier when they were 'donated' to his local Cancer Research charity shop along with a box of other assorted albums. He knew they were worth more than the 50p price tag they MIGHT have been given in the shop, and so rescued them! He sent them to me, and I had Roger sign them both very recently (see pic), and we would now like to sell them to the highest bidder, and donate all the proceeds back to that Cancer Research shop. They are in good condition, the sleeve on Strange Frontier is a little worn, but the records themselves look as though they were not played a huge amount! Opening bid is £25 EACH and you can bid on both at the same time or just one, simply send your highest bids HERE with your name and membership number. Please state if you are bidding on one or both. Feel free to send a 'maximum bid' and I will inform you if it is bettered. You have until Thursday October 11th to get your bids in! Highest bidder at midday on that day will get the goodies!(By Jacky)

Queen duo to play at Mandela gig
Queen stars Brian May and Roger Taylor have signed up to perform at a concert in London next year to mark Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday. The charity concert is being held to raise awareness of Mandela's 46664 HIV Aids campaign, set up to help those "on the frontline to fight HIV". May and Taylor helped found the 46664 campaign in 2003, alongside fellow music stars Dave Stewart and Bono. The former President of South Africa will attend the concert on 27 June. A worldwide music-led campaign, 46664 takes its name from the prison number Mandela was assigned during his 18-year-sentence on Robben Island in South Africa. Bono and Beyonce Knowles headlined the first concert in South Africa in November 2003. Spain and Norway have also played host to concerts, in addition to a second gig held in South Africa in 2005. In January of the same year, Mandela lost his son to Aids. (source; also see Brian's soapbox!)
