An evening of music, song and great chat, featuring Tom Morton and guests.  The show includes a free fair trade wine-tasting.

BBC broadcaster and author Tom Morton has a sideline in long-distance motorcycling, pedal cycling and the writing and performing of reasonably amusing, sometimes thought-provoking songs.

This has brought into existence such projects as Journey's Blend (a motorcycle-borne trip to the extremes of Scotland, blending a whisky from the most outlying distilleries), the Barnard Challenge - following the route of pioneer whisky traveller Alfred Barnard - and musical shows such as The Malt and Barley Revue and My Bad Gospel. 

This June, The Fairly Long Ride and The Fairly Good Show come into existence. this time aboard a trusty pedal bike (the acoustic motorcycle, to quote Luka Bloom) Tom is pioneering the Mull2Muckle route, the Scottish 'end-to-end', cycling from the Mull of Galloway, Scotland's southernmost point, to the Muckle Flugga shore station in Unst, Shetland, Scotland's most northerly point.

Along the way he'll perform in The Fairly Good Show, an evening of songs, chat, wine tasting and general respite from cycling, on the theme of fair trade and supporting the Scottish Fair Trade forum.

The trip ends in Unst on Midsummer's Day, 20 June. You are welcome to join Tom on any part fo the route, as long as you cycle exceptionally slowly...he is, after all, fairly elderly and very unfit.
