Fatboy Slim – aka Norman Cook – became the first ever DJ to perform at the House of Commons when he plays a show at the lower house’s terrace bar a couple of days back.

Cook, 49, played a set in a marquee that had been set up in the Terrace Bar which overlooks the Thames and performed some of the set in a rather inappropriate Guy Fawkes mask! Despite advocating a man who wanted the building blown to the ground, he was delighted to be there and said this was one of the most unusual gigs he had ever played.

He said: “I’ve played some exciting and unique places around the world, from Bondi Beach to the Great Wall of China to an igloo, but playing in the House of Commons might be the most unique to date.”

He added: “Music is a huge part of my life and to give something back in this way is amazing.”

Norman was supported by Mr Fury, who won the competition House The House, in aid of the Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation. Mr Fury, whose real name is Bryce Moore, comes from Corby, Northamptonshire and is studying at Northumbria University said: “It’s a bit daunting to meet someone who is a living legend.”

He added, “This is a massive opportunity for me, to meet so many important people. I wouldn’t be complaining if I ended up DJ-ing full time, I’ve done quite a bit of it in Newcastle.”

Jonny Lee, founder of the Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation, which encourages 16-25-year-olds to get more involved in their communities through grassroots initiatives, said: “Bryce won the competition for a number of different reasons, including his mixing skills and technical ability.”

Initially there were 200 DJs interested in the competition, who were whittled down to about 80 for 10 regional heats.

The final was held last month at the Ministry of Sound nightclub in London.

All the 10 national finalists had to devote at least four hours to a community project.

Mike Weatherley, the MP for Hove and Portslade, has said: “House The House is giving young people the chance to have a voice, to be recognised for their endeavours and to engage with their communities to create change from the grassroots up.”

Adding that, “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life and House The House are great examples of what the whole music industry can achieve in an innovative way.”
