I was delighted to be invited to the East coast by BikeAboutFiley (bikeaboutfiley.co.uk) for a two week residency over Easter 2018. The owners of this fabulous hire and repair shop, Richard and Julie Hay, were keen to link in music and community activities with the Tour de Yorkshire which was going through the historic fishing town in June..
I spoke with fishermen about their current situation, people at the lifeboat station about
their work, numerous cyclists about why they cycle and their thoughts on the Tour de Yorkshire, and members of the Filey community about the town. I also found myself at an old Victorian prison in Scarborough, which is now a bike library! New songs have been penned about all of these! I’m looking forward to coming back to Filey to perform at the folk Festival in June, especially at a bespoke performance at the Lifeboat Station on Sat 6 at 12.30 pm. fileyfolkfestival.bravesites.com

I was pleased that BBC Radio York and North East TV both included me in broadcasts about Tour de Yorkshire Filey.
