The cheery popsters famous for upbeat numbers She’s So Lovely, Heartbeat and Elvis Ain’t Dead prove that not all bands sit on tour buses playing Wii and drinking their body-weight in alcohol by embarking on a 60-mile sponsored bike ride from London to Brighton.

And to add a touch of silliness to an otherwise excellent exercise in humility – the band will be raising money for the Wellchild charity – the trio will be riding Choppers.

The band set off from Wandsworth Park in London at 10am on Saturday 29th August, and expect to arrive at The Grand Hotel, Brighton on Sunday 30th August at approximately 3pm; an intimate gig at Brighton’s Komedia venue will be played later that evening.
