I have a Rhod Gilbert & The Giant Grapefruit ticket for sale for his show in Limerick, Ireland 15th Oct. Logistically I can't get there by bike, train & ferry in a way that's not exhausting. Open to offers.

Hello, I'm also performing at Belladrum.I'm a cycling poet. I saw Paul perform at a Chain Reaction Cycling Festival years back, and thought my poetry set, with bikey on statge, in the Verb Garden Fri 12.30pm-13.15pm might be of interest, if he's on still on site.
Have a great festival.
