Progressive Broadcast Hire

I’ve foolishly signed up, some months ago in a moment of drunken sincerity, to cycle from London to Donnington, with The Heavy Metal Truants ride. (https://heavymetaltruants.com/)

I neither like Heavy metal, or indeed cycling these days, if I’m honest. So if anyone can spare a quid or two(and I really mean a quid or two) I’d be ever so grateful; it would make my idiotic efforts all worthwhile.

In times like these it’s always the children who suffer the most and yet they are the ones least culpable for all the ills that affect them. If in some way we can make a small difference, then me heaving my cake and wine bloated gut 175 miles on a bone rattling old bike for a couple of days will be worth it.

If I survive and make it back home only to start playing Stairway to Heaven on my Classical guitar, please someone come and remove it from my black leather fingerless gloved hand. You can also take the sleeveless denim jacket whilst you’re at it.

Thanks to Mattias Nyberg BSC for the shout out, we loved working on this.

"I’m pretty proud of how we stayed close to our original creative intentions and didn’t get knocked too far off course, and that the look and feel of the show feels coherent."
