“I have had beards and facial hair for quite a few years now.
“In recent times I have been influenced by the likes of the US reality show Duck Dynasty, by beard competitors like Jack Passion, Michael Legge, Madison Rowley and Burke T Kenny to name but a few.
“I have also been heavily influenced by rock bands such as ZZ Top & Blackberry Smoke.
