Programme

Overview

The concert is the culmination of David Webb’s personal ‘Winter Journey’, a 500-mile cycle ride over 12 days in the darkest month of the year to raise funds for mental health charities MIND and Music Minds Matter (Help Musicians UK). Beginning on ‘Blue Monday’ 18 January, the most depressing day of the year, Webb will depart and return to his home in South London everyday having undertaken a 50-mile ride in London.
