One From The Archive

Trawling through some old PC Files over the weekend and came across this photo which shows the embryonic stage of the Two Fat Cyclists having a blast at Kum By Ya (My Lord Kum By Ya) at Penllew one Sunday 9 long years ago.

I'd like to think that even Ginger Gareth (The Power Diaphragm of Spam Dagger) would be impressed with the vocal commitment being displayed here.

Way Down South (Pencoed actually) With Uncle Lyndon aka The Cornelly Hillbilly and the Two Fat Cyclists

Yesterday started with a wet and windy training ride for the Two Fat Cyclists (TFC) to Llanstephan and back to Carmarthen and saw the chunky duo out for a second day on the trott with an earlier Friday night spin out in Pendine and Laugharne. It also marks a turning point in the training regime and a change in commitment with positive noises being made about the big man's plans for a Chicago to New York event next March to coincide with the Six Nations competition.
(Diet Commitment From Andy)
The idea at present is that we fly out to the windy city take in a Wales match at a Welsh bar, cycle to New York for the following weeks encounter against the French with a couple or three gigs along the way and taking in places with Welsh links etc.
With potential gigs enroute and with the upcoming Charity Americana event at the Tin Shed in Laugharne on July 9th we've called in the Big Gun, Spam Dagger chief warbler and Harmonizing Guru - Uncle Lyndon, who, after an initial practice last weekend is really up for it, being as he is absolutley steeped in old timey music.

After our cycle yesterday we jumped into the VW and headed up the M4 for deepest darkest Pencoed for another practice with our new band leader.

We found him in fine fettle as can be seen in the above photograph. we had a great practice of our new (cover) material and Andy has narrowed the set down to `just the 40 songs`.

Another practice this week hopefully and a couple of rides will see both Harmonies and cycle performances improve further before our first musical outing of the new line up in two weeks time.

Rehearsal at Tin Shed

Uncle Lyndon and the Two Fat Cyclists perform/rehearse at The Tin Shed Experience, Clifton Street, Laugharne.

The Car Rally that we had hoped to play for passed a good half hour before we even turned up. So, to make the most of a bad trip, we decided to sit in the outback, soak up the spitting rain and trudge through some golden oldies of America's past.

Americana Evening

Saturday July 9th

THE TIN SHED EXPERIENCE, Clifton Street, Laugharne presents an AMERICANA EVENING with THE TWO FAT CYCLISTS.

Live Music with guest appearances from Uncle Lyndon and Jackie the Fiddle.

Food plus much much more. Tickets: £10

FANCY DRESS OPTIONAL but put some denim on if your struggling or wear a hat!

Bring your own drinks!!

Bring a deckchair!!!

All monies raised will be donated to a local charity project, Canolfan Plant Sir Gar/Carmarthen Children's Centre.

The aim of the project is to create a facility where sick children can be treated, with the support of their families in a family friendly environment. This then would end the days of constant visits to hospitals across the principality where various specialists were located, and would allow families to receive all of their treatments in one centrally located facility: canolfanplantsirgar.org.uk
