As well as performing, Chris will also be selling his Joey Dunlop tribute CD, ‘King of the Road’, throughout the week and he is hoping that everyone at the event will buy a copy, not only to honour the racing superstar but to raise vital funds for the Joey Dunlop Foundation.

“I am really looking forward to being up there,” said Chris. “It’s going to be a big one.

The programme at the marquee has become so popular an extra night has been added and on Saturday, May 6, prior to Race Week proper, the show stars the man who invites all and sundry to ‘Hit the Diff’.

“So often people think the marquee is exclusively for bikers but this is far from the case and this special NW200 fundraiser is the ideal opportunity for Ritchie Remo fans everywhere to see the man in action in this great setting which is fully licensed and features a supporting show including a jive contest,” explained one of the organisers.

Monday, May 8 at the Marquee sees an exclusive and specially edited version of the new DVD ‘Alastair Seeley - my North West 200 Wins’ and judging by the response this promises to kick-start the week in superb style.

On Tuesday, May 9 it’s the annual Miss North West 200 Contest sponsored by Morellis of Portstewart and in association with Local Women Magazine, The Anchor Complex and BPerfect Cosmetics. Hosted by Adrian Logan and Brian Moore, and always with a full house, this is the night a young lady is chosen to become the public face of the biggest spectator event on the island of Ireland. An added bonus will be an appearance by May McFettridge and music with The James Peake Experience.
