“Hello, I'm Lon from Leicester.

“My interests include music (metal, jazz, folk, anything really), beer and of course beards.

“I have played guitar for about 20 years and play in two bands: The Whiskey Rebellion who play a knees up mix of gypsy jazz, celtic punk and folk, and with my partner Celia in Elysian who play a cool summery mix of jazz, soul and reggae.

“My beard style is full including moustache and it's definitely very ginger, or as I like to call it Nuclear Orange!”
