Caffi Iechyd Da - Charity Evening

We are having a Charity fundraiser in Caffi Iechyd Da, Jacksons Lane, Carmarthen on Friday, February 10^th.  7.30p.m. till late!

We are raising money for Carmarthenshire Children’s Centre in Glangwili. www.canolfanplantsirgar . The Two Fat Cyclists are trying to raise £12,000 for the charity.

In March 2012 we are attempting to cycle 1200 miles in 6 days between Chicago and New York. The added challenge is that we are going to play gigs at various bars/pubs along the way, starting at the Candelit Bar, Chicago and culminating with a gig at the Longbow Pub and Pantry in New York.

Tickets for Caffi Iechy Da cost £10 per person. All the money will go directly to the charity.

What do you get for your £10? – A buffet supper, short quiz, free raffle, and live entertainment from a variety of musicians.

Please e mail me if you fancy a night out with a difference.

If you don't fancy coming along and would still like to support the charity ride pleas visit our Just Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/bandi

Thanks for your support.

New Year, New Bang...

Today was the first outing of the TFC of 2012 and for Man Flu Phil the first ride for 2 weeks after suffering all over the festive period with what Andy described as, "a debilitating Illness"...Figian Man Flu.

With only 9 weeks left before the off and the start of our Chicago - New York Challenge the need to train and the pressure from the big one to "man up and get on it" was no longer bearable. So with still mucus engulfed sinus and wheezy chest we ventured out onto the highways on Pendine. In 4•C temps and 20mph winds we headed off to the Ginst and then returned via the "Hill of doom" where the old ticker according to my polar monitor was doing 164 bpm and causing a bit of heavy breathing. I struggled so hard the Fat Controller nearly beat me up to the summit.

More training planned for tomorrow and the rest of the week before a longer ride on the weekend and a planning meeting with our technical support consultants (Big Fat Gay Uncle Lyndon - BFGUL and Gethin "the very furtile man mountain" Jones.

Phil "Ill" Jenkins.

Boxing Day Blues

TFC had to postpone the 'till our fingers bleed' gig at The Fountain Inn, Laugharne due to illnesses within the entourage.


With talk of a century of songs chloroseptic Phil was initially full of the xmas spirit until the dreaded man flu hit. 'Top of the bill' Phil out, Uncle Lyndons' proclamation to the awaiting press, 'sorry mate, I had the start of a cold Friday and its shifted gears on me last nite, result = no voice, hence can't help', the plug was pulled - the 'till our fingers bleed' gig was off!

So it was left to a fat uke player and a wookie of a mandolin stroker to fight the good fight on behalf of the charity and the good name of 'The Two Fat Cyclists'. 


Using Brian Eno as a driving force, 'One of the interesting things about having little musical knowledge is that you generate surprising results sometimes; you move to places you wouldn't if you knew better.' 

Decisions were taken and it was thought best not to stray too close to the lager-fuelled rugby club. So the wookie went north and the fat uke player drew the curtains and hid.

In the words of the great Brian Eno I leave you with these thoughts, 

'I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness and a better sense of humor.'

And as the great Keith Richards said: 

'If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.'

Charity CD of 'Dogging in Kenfig' and 'The Strongbow Song' £5 available from any disreputable record shop or at any gig!
