Bicycle Music Festival Coming to London in June
Event: 5th and 6th June
Four and a half thousand miles (7,500km), some 19 cities spread across 10 countries...
So, just a typical music tour, then? Well, not quite – because Kipchoge Spencer and his band the Ginger Ninjas along with four other bands known collectively as the Pleasant Revolution are doing it on bicycles. The musicians are carrying all their instruments and equipment on specially converted bikes known as Xtracycles and all performances are powered by pedal power with the cycles connected to generators to power the 1200watt PA system.
On 5 and 6 June the musical entourage comes to the UK capital and in good old London style we have organised a beautiful reception for them with six performances from British bands in different locations across town – which we’re calling the Bicycle Music Festival London.
Below are the venues:
