Michael Eavis & Michael Rosen feature on Beard of the Decade list
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has opened an on-line poll for the Beard of the Decade.
When the poll was last run, ten years ago, Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis beat Fidel Castro. He is the only person to feature on both lists.
The campaigners say that the criteria for the Beard of the Decade list is that the individual has worn a beard consistently over the last 10 years and has had a significant positive impact in the public eye.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, of course the list cant be comprehensive but we have tried to have a representative list of the most distinguished beard wearers of the last decade.
The vote is open now and will close at midday on January 1st with the winner declared on 2nd January
The winner of the Beard of the Year 2019 is announced on 28th December

It’s a toss-up between Rosen and JC (no, not Jesus, he’s so passé) but I think Lenny Henry deserves a look-in.
