One Show report from bike festival

BBC’S The One Show will film a special report as Brechin’s Harley-Davidson festival revs up next weekend.

The festival, now in its sixth year, will welcome former Radio 1 DJ and proud Harley-Davidson owner Andy Kershaw as he reports from the festival.

The Legendary HarleyDavidson I n The City Festival, which celebrates the connection between the motorcycle company and Brechin, is expected to attract thousands of motorcycles and motorcyclists to Angus on Saturday.

Organiser Bill Sturrock said he hoped t he TV coverage would boost the festival’s profile.

He said: “The One Show will be filming at our fabulous festival celebrating all things Harley.

“The grandparents of the Davidsons who cofounded Harley-Davidson lived at Netherton of Aberlemno, only a few miles from Brechin, before emigrating to America with their young family in the mid-1850s.

“The festival celebrating Brechin’s significant connection with the Davidsons of this iconic motorcycle brand has grown considerably over the years.

“Although it already attracts bikers from all over the UK, Europe and the US, coverage by The One Show will boost the Legendary Harley Davidson I n The City Festival further, as well as giving Brechin and the surrounding area an excellent opportunity to step forward and shine in the media spotlight.”
