Greybeard, that is me - I am part of University of the King. I was working on my solo album, it took too long, I got bored - its a lot harder when its just yourself...
When I grow a beard, it actually has grey bits in it, I only found that out after the name was decided. Grey hair show signs of wisdom apparently, I like that.
My real name is Rob Blakeney
I'm going to start a different solo album now, I'm quite excited about it - maybe the other bits I did previously will surface at some point - not for now anyway.
I have a great beard at the time of writing this, my wife is going to get some picture before it comes off.
UPDATE: There it is...

Merry Christmas!
Right, to get you in the festive mood, Greybeard has recorded Do You Hear What I Hear? - A classic from 1962....
I like to think this was made famous by Gremlins when it is heard as one gets blown-up in a microwave and another gets blended, but I'm sure there are other significant moments that make this a festive great!
This was recorded straight into the laptop using the laptops built in Mic, so its a bit crusty-soundin' - but I think that is part of the beauty...
You can get it now in the Free Download area...
