We celebrate and support young musicians to tackle inequality in music education.

Story

Our aim is to cycle the 225-175 miles from London to Paris in 24 hours. While the clock is ticking we also have to take a five hour ferry across the channel. We'll be riding unsupported (so carrying all of the bare necessities on our bikes), on top of that we couldn't afford a bed on the ferry, so sadly we won't be sleeping either. Despite having a combined weight of almost 200kg we're hoping to finish in 22hrs, puncture permitting.

We are supporting School Ground Sounds, a charity working with London state secondary schools to provide additional music opportunities and mentoring. Using high-quality studios, SGS records and develops young musicians, offering a powerful online platform to showcase their work and kick-start their musical journeys.
