Hairy Bikers roar into Birmingham
Saturday 27th February 2010, 11:59AM GMT.
The Hairy Bikers brought their unique style of cooking to the West Midlands – and talked up the traditional dish of faggots and paes.
They appeared at the Symphony Hall last night ahead of a visit to Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall next month.
Dave Myers and Si King, first found fame on the BBC’s Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook in 2005 and are now top of the hardback book chart with their latest book.
They love traditional English food, and Si said he is particularly partial to the dishes of the Black Country. He joked: “You gotta have faggots, paes and gravy. It’s mega – its wrong but it’s mega.”
The successful Hairy Bikers’ Big Night Out tour returned to Birmingham, where it originally kicked off at the Town Hall in January.
It will call at Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall on March 20 and Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre on May 22.
Si said: “I love the people of the West Midlands. They generally have a great sense of humour, and they’re fast and quick at the cracks which is just brilliant.”
