What's that in the Brooker hand? Surely not a bitten-off sausage ...

A touch of sustain pedal here

Whitehorn in the spotlight

Dane, from the Z7 venue, exhibits on the Salty Dog carrot-cake made for the band by Heidi Widmer

Gary inspects the design (which is digitally printed into the icing)

A few words to the audience, who spontaneously start to sing Happy Birthday to You

The band joins in, and with superb timing Gary vouchsafes a first glimpse of his
 'Brooker 60' AS Roma shirt, just present to him by Stefano Ciccioriccio

Gary apparently about to stab the cake

And the band played on ...

In goes the knife ... then the cake was taken backstage for dissection.
