Blast from the past: Read the first ever Bearded

To celebrate the new Bearded website, we're taking a look back at what has been before. Some visitors might not know that Bearded has been a print magazine. Read the first ever issue below, featuring interviews with Matt Berry, Throwing Snow, Freshly Squeezed Music and many more.

The print copy of the magazine was limited to just 500 copies and was printed on Bearded's characteristic high quality, 100% recycled paper stock. It was distributed for free amongst UK record shops and bars and creative outlets in Birmingham - where Bearded was based at launch. Needless to say that the magazine is very hard to get a hold of these days. You can read it in full below though
