On Sunday 21 September 2025 I'll be doing the NYC Century Bike Tour – riding 100 miles around New York City and raising funds for the amazing charity, East London Community Band, where I'm Chair of Trustees.

I'm not sure how many of the 100 miles I'll complete...and if the flesh is weak, the ELCB spirit is willing to hit as many of those century miles as I can. Think of me as you tuck into your Sunday roast and drop this wonderful organisation a few pounds/dollars if you can – we do brilliant work, making music accessible to all ages and abilities.

If you don't know about how we've been bringing people together in music for over 50 years, take a look at www.eastlondoncommunityband.co.uk
