Beard Liberation Front
15th May
Glastonbury 2016
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has paid tribute to probably the most iconic beard band in the history of modern music, ZZ Top, who were formed 50 years ago in 1969.
The original line up was not quite as it now is but the existing trio, of beard wearers Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill together with clean shaven drummer Frank Beard came together during 1969.
The lengthy beards of Gibbons and Hill have formed a style masterpiece over the decades and remain in place. Meanwhile, the cause of many jokes, Frank Beard is the beardless member of the band.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, let’s face it, beard liberation just wouldnt be the same without ZZ Top. We salute their 50th year
