Paul Heaton gets on his bike

The Publican reports:

Ex-Beautiful South singer Paul Heaton is looking for venues to perform at as part of a cycling tour to promote traditional pubs.

Heaton will begin his 720-mile Pedals and Pumps trip in May at the set of the Rovers Return in Manchester.

Travelling by bike, Heaton will be aiming to play 15 gigs with his band across the North and Midlands at a range of different pubs – and hopefully stay the night.

He is not coming anywhere near Market Harborough, but he is looking for a pub to play in that is within 10 miles of Much Wenlock.
