Watching Travis perform their latest dreary little single on telly the other day I was immediately struck by the tiny size of singer Fran Healy’s head. A man of slender build, his stringy body is topped off by a head which is still disproportionately small. It looks like someone’s trying to balance a small hairy egg on their finger. I can only assume he has enormous difficulty buying hats, or he’s forced to get them from Adams.
At the other end of the scale is tinkly-tonkly indie tunesmith Ed Harcourt (who seems to have disappeared into obscurity, but was fab for a year or two) who has to be the owner of the biggest head (again literally, not figuratively) in music. He didn’t help matters by crowning his sizeable cranium with an impressive and unruly bouffant, though even this didn’t detract from the underlying magnitude. It was huge. When he wobbled on stage, it looked like a bear riding a weather balloon.
