Share this Memorial with Friends & Family: Share Memorial on FB Biography: David James Myers (8 September 1957 – 28 February 2024) was an English television presenter, best known as one half of the Hairy Bikers, along with Si King. He was also known for his appearances on the BBC celebrity talent show Strictly Come Dancing. Together, Myers and King presented a multitude of television cookery series for the BBC. They also launched their own product called The Hairy Bikers Diet Club. Myers and Si King first appeared on the BBC's show The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook. The programme presented a mixture of cookery and travelogue, using a similar style to chef Keith Floyd, including the habit of frequently referring to the cameraman and other crew. Most shows featured the pair riding motorbikes, including the BMW R1200GS, F650GS[5][6] and Triumph Rocket III. The show also featured elements of the Two Fat Ladies format, including regular banter between the two stars, use of various unusual cooking locations and the use of motorbikes. On 24 August 2009, they hosted a 30-part daytime series for BBC Two, The Hairy Bikers' Food Tour of Britain, which aired on weekdays. The series saw them visit a different county each day and cook what they considered to be that county's signature dish.[7] In January 2010, a six-part series titled The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best was broadcast on BBC Two.[8] On 25 October 2010 a new 40-episode series, The Hairy Bikers' Cook Off, was launched on BBC Two. The programme included a cook off between two families and celebrity guests. From January to May 2010, the Hairy Bikers performed their Big Night Out show in theatres throughout the UK. Directed by Bob Mortimer, the show was a fun mixture of cooking and chat plus a little song and dance. It explored their youth, how they met and their love of food. From November to December 2011, the Bikers appeared in a 30-part BBC series called Hairy Bikers: Best of British, airing at 3:45pm on BBC Two (apart from the show's final week, in which it aired on BBC One). The series celebrated British recipes and championed local produce. In January 2012, continuing into February, BBC Two showed hour-long re-versions including recipes from various episodes of the series.[11] After they had signed new contracts with the BBC in 2011, a new series was commissioned. The Hairy Biker's Bakeation saw the Hairy Bikers doing what they love best – a gastronomic road trip, uncovering the best baking on offer across Europe, from Norway, the Low Countries (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg), Germany, Eastern Europe (Slovakia, Hungary and Romania), Austria, Italy and France to Spain. In March 2012, Good Food commissioned The Hairy Biker's Mississippi Adventure, the duo's first series for the channel. UKTV gave a description of the series: "In this ultimate food and music pilgrimage, the perennially popular Hairy Bikers are getting back in the saddle as they explore the length of the iconic Mississippi River in America in pursuit of the delicious roots of soul food and Southern music." The series was produced by Mentorn Media, and the Bikers' first interactive iOS app, also produced by Mentorn, was released to accompany the series. In August 2012, Hairy Dieters: How to Love Food and Lose Weight showed how The Hairy Bikers radically changed their lifestyles, but stayed true to their love of great food, as they embarked on a campaign to lose two and a half stone (15.8 kg (35 lb)) in three months, comfortably passing their target weights.[12] In February 2014, they launched a new series, The Hairy Bikers' Asian Adventure for BBC Two which saw them travelling in Asia sampling the local cuisine, meeting local people and cooking up some native dishes themselves. The series follows in a similar style to the Bakeation series in 2012. In March 2015, they co-presented The Nation's Favourite Food on BBC Two alongside Lorraine Pascale.[13] After having experienced their own success with balancing eating the food they love while also being conscious of their health and losing weight, they wanted to help others to do the same. In January 2014, they launched The Hairy Bikers Diet Club, which includes recipes and tips and tricks to help people to live a healthier and trimmer life, while not starving to be "skinny minnies".[14] Gallery: Listen To Their Voice: Dave Myers 00:00 / 00:27 Location Of Memorial: Not publicly known Memorial Created By: Anonymous

Click here to edit... Share this Memorial with Friends & Family: Share Memorial on FB Biography: Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan (25 December 1957 – 30 November 2023) was an English-born Irish musician, best known as the co-founder, frontman, and chief songwriter of Celtic punk band the Pogues. MacGowan's songs were influenced by Irish history, Irish nationalism, the Irish diaspora, and London life. Born in Kent, England, to Irish parents, MacGowan spent his early childhood in Tipperary, Ireland, before returning to England aged six and a half. Noted for his precocious interest in literature—by age 11, he was reading authors including Fyodor Dostoevsky and James Joyce—he attended Holmewood House preparatory school and won a scholarship to Westminster School, but was expelled from the latter for possession of drugs. In 1977, he joined the punk band the Nipple Erectors. In 1982, he co-founded the Pogues, which fused punk influences with traditional Irish music; he features on the band's first five studio albums, released between 1984 and 1990, including the critically acclaimed and commecially successful If I Should Fall from Grace with God (1988). He co-wrote the Christmas hit single "Fairytale of New York" (1987), which the Pogues recorded with Kirsty MacColl. During a 1991 tour, MacGowan was dismissed from the Pogues due to the impact of his drug and alcohol dependency on the band's live shows. He subsequently formed a new band, Shane MacGowan and The Popes, with which he recorded two studio albums. In 2001, MacGowan rejoined the Pogues for reunion shows, and remained with the group until it dissolved in 2014. He also produced solo material and collaborated with artists such as Joe Strummer, Nick Cave, Steve Earle, Sinéad O'Connor, and Ronnie Drew. He received a 2018 Ivor Novello Inspiration Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award. Following years of deteriorating health, MacGowan died of pneumonia at his Dublin home in November 2023, aged 65. The president of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, paid tribute, calling him "one of music's greatest lyricists."
