One half of The Hairy Bikers is planning a wide programme of entertainment for a festival taking place in Sunderland this summer.
TV chef Si King is helping to bring together a mix of street food suppliers and music performers for the Souled Out Festival and he's delighted to take part. “I’m absolutely chuffed to bits to be involved," he said.
The special event - part of the wider Soul Food and Music Festival which will be hosted across the city from June 10-12 - will be at Plot 12, an events space at the former Vaux brewery site, and during the festival there will be performances from headliners The King Cush Band, Voices of Virtue, Groove Train and Smoove and Turrell. North East-born King has also chosen the range of street food traders involved, including Scream For Pizza, Dosa Kitchen, burger favourites One Dining and Chinese dumpling specialists Nan Bei.
