So how about this idea of buying a bicycle in London and visiting every little town on the way to Liverpool or Leeds? I won't spend anything for transportation and don't have to hassle with buying and scheduling in advance. Is it safe? Or what? If this method is feasible, I will only have to spend for hostal and food. And I will see more of the real England. And I'll get the "gigs" that no one else knows existed and wouldn't want to play anyway if they did know that they existed.
