NORMAN COOK‘s appearance will mark 25 years since the release of his highly successful album under the name of Fatboy Slim, You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby. Released in the autumn of 1998, its singles, which reached the top 10, included Praise You, Right Here, Right Now and The Rockerfeller Skank. Before becoming a superstar DJ and among dance music’s biggest figures, a remixer and a producer, he was a member of The Housemartins, who had a string of hits from the mid eighties. With Beats International, Norman was behind the single Dub Be Good to Me, which spent four weeks at number one in 1990. As a DJ, he is in huge demand around the world, including at big festivals and shows of varying sizes.
NICK BANKS has been a member of the renowned band Pulp since the mid eighties as their drummer. Fronted by Jarvis Cocker and known for songs such as Common People, Disco 2000 and Do You Remember the First Time, they reformed for a series of live shows during this summer. In 1995, at the height of Britpop, which Pulp were associated with, their album Different Class topped the chart and won the Mercury Music Prize a year later. The band’s final album, 2001’s We Love Life was produced by Scott Walker. Nick’s memoir, And It Started There: From Punk to Pulp, will be published in September by Omnibus Press.
