If you were fortunate enough to be camped on the Col du Latauret ahead of the peloton's arrival on the Galibier for stage 18 of the Tour de France, it's likely you would have heard the TdF Beefeaters, even if you'd never heard of them before.

Blasting out Euro-pop remixes of top 40 hits the night before the Tour hit the famous climb, they then announced themselves to the wider world when a video of them partying on the route went viral, having so far amassed 1.3 million views.
