Tandem Tales – Bristol to Edinburgh has been a mash up of different projects come together. Geoff cycled over 130 miles on the loaded tandem, alone, getting lost wanting to meet and share stories with people before getting to Edinburgh.

Hal picked him up in the van after two days and the Tandem then was used as a vehicle around the towns they explored. They met and impressed people with their overloaded bike full of instrument to set up and play anywhere, they were also inspired by some of the encounters on this trip.

As musicians they managed to get gigs in every town, winging it on the way, not knowing what was happening day to day. They proved that even with no show or direction – determination matters.

Edinburgh was physically a struggle totting kit around , late night gigs, no money and little food, too much cycling and drinking in between and no one to ride with.

They managed to meet interesting people, the outsiders of the festivals. These tales from the tandem have fuelled new ideas, longer and bigger adventures in the future and have inspired for new material.

The tandem is a great vehicle to do performances and to create projects for too. Tandem Tales is interested in new ideas and sharing ideas with new people. Tandem tales will be back with more adventures more mileage projects soon….

Stay in touch… via facebook or whatever.
