Beards Of Manchester photographed by Gill Moore

Yes you read that right, Beards of Manchester is a calendar featuring the city

and some of its hairiest inhabitants. It launches on 21 October with an exhibition

at Common on Edge Street. The top twelve beard wearing entrants have been photographed

by top Manchester photographer Gill Moore, check the site for a low down on the

‘ The Beards ‘ who entered.

All profits of the calendar sales go to the Lifeshare charity in Manchester and here

is a related article from the Manchester Evening News.

Of course some people were edited out quite early on, through lack of beard credentials !
