Toseland to perform at NEC show

Hot-tailing it from Jerez to Birmingham at the end of this week, James Toseland will be once again mixing business with pleasure at the Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show, as part of a three-date `residency´ with band Crash in the NEC venue.

The Tech 3 Yamaha rider´s band will be performing on Sunday November 30th, Saturday December 6th and Sunday December 7th, and Toseland will also be making solo performances behind his trusty piano on Wednesday December 3rd and Thursday December 4th.

`I´m really looking forward to playing at this year´s NEC Motorcycle Show; it combines my two main passions of motorcycling and music. It´s fantastic to have a sponsor who provides me with a keyboard and asks me to perform with the band as a work commitment!´ says the Briton. `Motorcycling enthusiasts are always our most supportive and vocal crowds, so we should hopefully generate a fantastic atmosphere on the Yamaha stand.´

The motorshow runs from November 28th to December 7th, and will count both Toseland and 2008 MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi´s Yamaha M1 bikes as star exhibits.
