Brighton Festival – BUG Fatboy Slim Special

Joined on stage by Norman Cook, the man himself, and Skint Records’ Damian Harris; Adam Buxton hosted a retrospective of Mr Slim’s music videos that, while not completely extensive, was never less that breezily entertaining. Augmented by Buxton’s own musings on his ear ache (that necessitated a trip to A&E) and bizarre storybook Scottish accents, the centrepieces were the videos. Projected on to a cinema screen and with excellent audio, the classic clips had never been better. Insane YouTube comments brought the house down and Cook & Harris provided some great behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Recommended for fans and non-fans.
