Riot Beard

This is James and he plays drums in The Buffalo Riot... tres rock beard style going on here, had it for around 6 months he says... wonder if he'll fancy entering my Beerdfest2012 I'll be launching very soon... watch this space boys! 

Bassman Beard

Space bassman Phil here popped into my office recently for a live session and I just had to pap this splendidly creative facial fluff! Can't imagine it's very practical having that long dangling bit in your dinner/ tea/ whatever! So extra points for style over practicality! 

Don't Listen To The Man

This is James. 

He has been a proud beard wearer for many years but this was a shorter version due to his Manchester employer insisting that he cut it. 

So he cut it down reluctantly. Only to be told that it's still too big! 

It's beardism plain and simples! It's not right that people can be so anti-beard and get away with it!

How is this beard stopping James from doing his job?! 

Of course it doesn't. I said I bet his boss was just jealous. 

Beard Envy is alive and well I reckon!

Barry Season

This is Barry. 

I met him while listening to some Amazing Kappa at Heebies on a Sunday arvo recently. 

He has had this marvellous moustache for about 2 years and while shy about sharing gave in for a quick snap (me being so persuasive etc) 

U-Turn

Out and about in Liverpool 8 I drove past this fine looking and was immediately struck by the fine facial work on display! So much so I turned my car around and parked up a few yards ahead of him... Poor fella! Can you imagine seeing a car park up and a stranger (me) bound out towards you? 

This is Malcolm. He is a retired Oceanographer. He first grew his beard when working in the South Atlantic, purely as a face warmer! He used to take the temperature of the sea, what an interesting job! I think he would defo be a contender for my inaugural Liverpool Beard and Tash Contest*! 

*okay I'm thinking in December of running a Liverpool Beard and Tash Contest, it will be fabulous, I hope you will support me fellow beard lovers! ;)  

Beardy Friend

Hello bearded friend! 

This is Carl and he is a music man with a fine ginger beard! I've known Carl since about 2006 and he has always had some kind of facial fur. He is DFL (Down For Life). I think I may invite him to be a judge at my upcoming inaugural Liverpool Beard and Tash Contest (more on this later...) 

Biennial Beard

This is Chris. He is an art-loving chap I met while volunteering for Liverpool Biennial last week. He has had this particular brand of facial fancy since 2007 and gets lots of admiration for it. Especially on buses! He says he spies people taking surreptitious pics of it all the time when out and about!
