Someone has made their own addition to a bronze statue of chief Wurzel Adge Cutler in Nailsea.
The statue of Wurzels founder Adge Cutler was put up outside the Royal Oak pub in the town - the place where the band recorded their first record 50 years ago - in 2016.
For the past four years Adge, who enjoyed hits with The Wurzels including Combine Harvester and I Am A Cider Drinker, has been standing proudly watching over the town.
But over the weekend someone has decided to give Adge a new look - by sticking a set of googly eyes on his face.
It is understood the eyes had been put on with blue tack, so could be easily removed.
Members of Adge’s family are understood to be cross at the addition.
His nephew John posted on Facebook: “I am not happy about this at all.”
And others agreed.
Lyn Greenwood posted: “I hope whoever has done this returns Adge to normal and as punishment gives him a wash and brush up”
Others posting on the community site Nailsea People suggested Adge would have seen the funny side of his new look.
Fan Rich West posted: “ I bet Adge would have laughed his head off at that.”
The four foot tall statue was created by local sculptor Roy Cleeves and was unveiled by Adge’s brother Dave Cutler and his nephew John Cutler.
Members of Wurzels tribute band The Twice Dailies were also at the ceremony.
Roy also built the statue’s plinth from all the different types of stone quarried from the Mendips reflecting the theme of Ade’s song “All Over Mendip Tonight”.
The statue had previously travelled with the band to gigs across the West Country.
Adge, who grew up in Nailsea and is buried at Christ Church in the town, died in a car crash in 1974, aged 42.
Adge, who once worked at the former Coates Cider factory in Nailsea, was known for his dry, West Country humour which gained him the unofficial title of the Bard of Avonmouth.
His temporary eyes had been removed this morning when Bristol Live went to investigate.
