Norman Cook, the man who has performed to over five million people live at the Salvador Carnival in Bahia, filled Brighton beach with 250 thousand ravers in one of the most historic outdoor events in UK history, and the only artist to have performed at Glastonbury consecutively for 26 years running, is inviting audience members to get up close and personal with him for an intimate discussion in his home town of Hove, right here at The Old Market this October.
This event is a continuation of Norman's previous storytelling session, held in a similar format at TOM in November last year. Due to the overwhelming demand for more, he is returning for a second round this year.
Hosted by charismatic Brighton-based presenter Guy Lloyd and featuring all new questions and topics, Norman will be sharing nostalgic stories from his iconic career for one night only as the pair discuss some of the breathtaking moments that raised the profile of Fatboy Slim to household-name status worldwide.
It all began for Norman at the age of 14 when his brother passed down to him a copy of the first album by The Damned, the punk influence was clear across the various bands he played in as a teenager, and at 18 he rapidly developed his DJ-ing skills in Brighton’s thriving club scene. Shortly after, Norman found himself performing as an integral part of The Housemartins, reaching the Top 10 in the UK albums charts and hitting number one in 1986 with the band’s rendition of Caravan Of Love. In 1996 the era of Fatboy Slim emerged and the rest, as they say, is history.
Of the upcoming event, Norman says, "Having played a few energetic sets at The Old Market before, I’m really excited to return to one of my favourite venues for something a little different this time. It’ll be nice to get up close and personal with the audience once again in an intimate setting; a fun opportunity to share some of my stories from what’s been a rollercoaster career; there’s a lot to unpack so strap yourselves in!"
