Before he was Fatboy Slim, Norman Cook enjoyed some musical success with Freak Power, Mighty Dub Katz, Pizzaman and Beats International. But first he was the bassist in the Housemartins – the Hull band led by Paul Heaton that had '80s hits with Isley-Jasper-Isley's Caravan Of Love and their own Happy Hour.
Glastonbury 2024 saw him strap on the four-string again for a reunion with Heaton – who later enjoyed success with The Beautiful South – and his solo band on Happy Hour. But first came a band rehearsal in a local hotel, proving when you've got to get practice done, anywhere will do.
"A look back to our @glastofest appearance last month and our hotel room rehearsal of Happy Hour with Norman @officialfatboyslim," posted Heaton in the Instagram clip above.
And you can see that the practice paid off in the clip from Glastonbury below.
