Badger Tails Tandem-Man Geoff in talent crusade
Geoff Red and Badgertrap led by the infamous Barry the Badger are heading to the tinsel town of talent – Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Starting down south in Bristol with no show, no material and not much talent, Geoff Red will cycle on a customised tandem through Britain, finding people to pedal with, doing gigs, and finding places to stay on the way. Barry the Badger will track him in a transit van and act as mentor having introduced himself to the online tv world in BBC3′s Upstaged. The aim is to find out what works for their potential show in Edinburgh.WHAT IS TALENT?We will be searching for the talent in Britain’s urban backwaters. People who spend their lives busking and performing on the streets and lo-fi venues, perfecting their talents trying to make it.We will meet the real talent, the people who spend hundreds of their own money opening shows in Edinburgh and losing hundreds too, making Edinburgh the diverse crazy place it is.
We will be recruiting these people and continue heading north finding out it why people just want to dress up, sing and perform and head for Edinburgh…. This is the real alternative to Britain’s got talent.
HOW?
We will blog, twitter and video ourselves on this epic cycle ride to show the
rest of alternative Britain is up to. We need their help with venues, places to
stay and to join the mission towards Edinburgh
When we get to Edinburgh we will work amongst the buskers/ performers in
Edinburgh, learning, performing and whilst we go. Our goal is to secure a proper venue for one at least one night in Edinburgh.
Will the honchos in Edinburgh give Geoff Red and Badgertrap a listen?

I think you need a link to the weather pages as well!
Well done to Geoff for fixing the windscreen wipers on the hard shoulder… its dangerous work this performance
Good luck for today xx
Excellent to see you’ve gone as far as you Have!(I’ll admit my initial sceptism). I’m still filling the streets of worcester with my “raw” but rather limited talent so give me a bell if you come this way on the way back. good luck with the show!
