Magical Bicycle Tour

Magical Bicycle Tour

On yer bike! At least that's what one band were told four years ago by a keen cyclist - and ever since, that's how they've done their tours!
Ìý
Dino Christodoulou went off to live in Spain for a few months - but knew he'd miss his saxophone so much, he took it with him!
Ìý

Ìý
So when he returned to the UK - he suggested the idea to his fellow band mates and now an additional three bands go on the tour as well, using nothing but bicycles!

Ìý
Just because somebody has a "festival" in a pub beer garden doesn't mean it's exactly the Big Chill! Pubs and clubs often have money-making weekends of live music - but when they all work together over several days (like Malvern Rocks and Worcester Music Festival) then that does qualify.
Ìý
But events such as the Worcester Beer Festival or Barrels Beer Festival don't because - as their name suggests, their focus is on the beer.
Ìý
So when B-Fest rocked up to the Bridge Inn in Tenbury Wells and a week later at the Black Lion in Hereford - we were a little stumped…
