These are photos from the homepage of Hawkwind. All the information they give about the name of this guy is "Dumpy", but I think "Santa" would be a much more fitting name. The photos were taken June 3rd 2005 in Croydon - Fairfield Halls.

There was a band called 'Dumpy's Rusty Nuts'. It could be Dumpy himself.

I think it's Jerry Garcia's brother. He leads a band called The Grateful Comatose.

Perhaps. He is forgotten because he grew out of being dwarfish. Doc, Happy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Bashful, Dopey, Grumpy and Dumpy - sounds good to me!

I'm presuming it's Dumpy of the band DUMPY'S RUSTY NUTS, who were
mates with Hawkwind, so far as I know.

It's Robert Fripp dressed up in a funny way. It took me a while to discover this. I would have never recognized him with a Fender guitar.

Coincidentally I was looking for a boogie band on Allmusic and Dumpy's Rusty Nuts came up. Here's his Web site, complete with photo. It's Dumpy for sure!
