DJ Fatboy Slim to play gig in House of Commons
DJ Fatboy Slim to play gig in House of Commons
Fatboy Slim is used to playing in front of rapt audience
DJ and record producer Fatboy Slim is to play a gig in Parliament.
The artist will perform at the Terrace Bar of the House of Commons next month in support of an initiative which aims to raise awareness of community music.
He will spin (крутить) discs alongside (рядом) the winner of the House the House DJ competition, an event hosted by MP and former music executive Mike Weatherley which seeks to give a platform to new young talent.
The artist, aka Norman Cook, said the gig might be his "most unique to date".
Mr Cook began his career with The Housemartins in the 1980s and as Fatboy Slim enjoyed a string of hit records - including number one single Praise You - in the 1990s and early noughties (нулевые).
'Give something back'
The gig on 6 March has been organised by the Last Night A DJ Saved My Life Foundation and will be hosted by House The House, a parliamentary charity which encourages 16-to-25 year dance enthusiasts to get more involved in their communities through grassroots initiatives and to raise awareness for local music projects.
"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," Fatboy Slim said.
"Music is a huge part of my life and to give something back in this way is amazing."
Mr Weatherley, an intellectual property expert who worked for pop impresario Peter Waterman, before becoming MP for Hove and Portslade, said: "House The House is giving young people the chance to have a voice, to be recognised for their endeavours (стремление/усилие) and to engage with their communities to create change from the grassroots up."
Questions: 1) Who is Fatboy Slim? 2) Where is he come from? 3) What Fatboy Slim will do in Parliament? 4) What did Norman Cook say about this event? 5) Who is Mr Weatherley?
I'm fond of music. I have one favourite clip of Fatboy Slim. "Weapon of Choice" has been my favourite clip, since my childhood! Christopher Walken dancing during this clip. It is really funny. To my mind, Fatboy Slim is one of the most popular musicians of the UK.
Wow, a party in Parlament! It's very cool. I'd like to be there. I'm sure I'd have a good time. Dj Fatboy Slim is one of the most popular dj in the West. He makes a great music. It isn't first time when he play in unusual place like House of Commons. According to the article, he played on The Great Wall of China. It's amazing!
I agree with his phrase: "playing in the House of Commons might be the most unique to date". Now I'm really interested in how the gig took place there.
