Hairy Bikers set to ride into city as part of national tour
Popular BBC food duo set to appear live on stage in Leicester
HAIRY Bikers Si King and Dave Myers have announced a Leicester date as part of their 2020 tour.
Due to demand, the duo will head out on a 38-date tour across the UK and Ireland between September and November next year – and they are promising an entertaining night of cooking and conversation.
They will be at De Montfort Hall on Saturday, October 10, 2020.
The Hairy Bikers have been TV regulars for more than a decade and have sold in excess of 5.7 million copies of their books.
Their unique blend of foodie expertise, humour and motorbike enthusiasm has earned them a huge and loyal following.
They are regular faces on the BBC, with many prime-time TV successes tucked under their leathers.
Their new book One Pot Wonders was released on October 31.
Born and bred in Barrow-in-Furness, Dave’s versatile skills have taken him to some unusual places.
He worked in a steelworks as a student to finance his studies in Fine Arts, and later joined the BBC as a make-up artist, specialising in prosthetics.
Si hails from the North East and worked for many years as an assistant director and locations manager for film and television, including the Harry Potter films.
Si and Dave met on the set of a TV drama in 1995 and have been cooking and riding together ever since.
They have now written more than 20 cookbooks, including British Classics, Mediterranean Adventure, Mums Know Best, Bakeation, Meat Feasts and 12 Days of Christmas.
In 2012, the boys shed more than six stone between them on The Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight.
They have also created a range of low-fat sauces (available in Asda and Ocado), launched an online subscriptionbased weight loss club, The Hairy Bikers’ Diet Club, and published an acclaimed autobiography, Blood, Sweat & Tyres.
The Hairy Bikers performed their sell-out Big Night Out show in theatres across the UK in 2010 and completed another nationwide theatre tour in April 2013.
Earlier this year, The Hairy Bikers embarked on a three-month UK theatre tour.
