Freebird tells the story of three forty-something motorcycle messengers who take a trip in search of an elusive hippy and his cannabis farm in the Welsh Mountains and end up on the journey of a life-time.
 
Fred has promised his old friend, ‘The Chairman’ he will not come back empty handed, Grouch has promised himself, come Monday morning, he will launch himself into the world of serious relationships and Tyg – well Tyg’s never left the city boundaries before.
 

With a whiff of  Withnail & I, a homage to psychedelic road trips such as Easy Rider and a send-up of Zulu with fearsome warriors replaced by less than fearsome Welsh bikers, Freebird has ‘future cult classic’ written all over it.
