Hairy Bikers get a musical helping hand

Slaithwaite give the famous Hairy Bikers a musical helping hand.

Slathwaite
 

The Huddersfield based Slaithwaite Band under MD Tabby Clegg has been hitting the UK’s television screens the last few weeks with appearances in a BBC2 show featuring popular chefs the Hairy Bikers.

Meals on wheels

The series, which has featured the chefs re-vamping the country’s meals on wheels service, saw them visit Slaithwaite, where the band was invited to accompany them in the filming process.

Snippets and sounds of the band have been seen over the last few weeks, with the final appearance next Tuesday at 9.00pm on BBC2.
