Toseland's 'Crash' at the NEC Show
MotoGP star's band to play at this year's NEC Show
MotoGP star and acclaimed musician James Toseland will perform with his band Crash at this year’s
Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show.
Toseland, who won the World Superbike crown in 2004 and 2007, has been making waves in his
debut season in the blue-riband MotoGP series. His Yamaha YZR-M1 MotoGP race bike will be on
display at the show alongside the similar machine of 8 times World Champion Valentino Rossi.
Toseland probably has the biggest fan-base of any British rider since Barry Sheene, bringing massive
attention wherever he appears both on and off track. It is this popularity that helped him become a
BBC Sports Personality of the Year finalist last season.
"I'm really looking forward to playing with my band Crash 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! Motorcycling enthusiasts are always our most supportive and vocal crowds so we should hopefully
generate a fantastic atmosphere on the Yamaha stand."
Crash will be performing on Saturday 29th November, Saturday 6th December and Sunday 7th
December. James will also be making solo piano appearances on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4th
December.
Crash was formed in 2002 by singer/guitarist Paul Grant-Reason and James Toseland on
vocals/piano. The line-up is completed by Warren Odell, guitar/bass/vocals, and Gavin Hall on
drums.
Taking place at the Birmingham NEC between the 28th November and 7th December, The Show will
feature the largest collection of 2009 models under one roof along with a huge array of adrenaline
fuelled interactive features.
Finlay McAllan, Managing Director of MCI Exhibitions, said: “We’re delighted to be able to have
James Toseland and Crash at the Show, James is definitely a fans’ favourite and a real entertainer.
We have one of the best line-up of attractions we’ve ever had and this really adds yet another
exciting element.”

I'll accomodate him  I'm hopefully going on the first Saturday and will fight my way to the front so when he jumps into the crowd he'll land on me.

Damn, do all these accomodation offers flying around mean i can cancel the hotel booking? Or is a WSB title and own band what it takes to seal the deal???? I am planning on hitting the show on the 2nd. Want a new lid for sure, and am tempted to hunt for a TomTom

Shocking splurge of oestrogen going on here Control yourselves ladies. Good job my gay brother ain't a biker, he'd beat you all off with his biggest handbag. I might bring him along. I'm going on the 28th, with the intention of buying textile trousers and a tailpack. But I'll prolly end up with yet another leather jacket to add to the collection.
