Turnmills regular Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim (© bigpicturesphoto.com)
Turnmills, the karaoke wine bar that opened in Clerkenwell in 1985, became the first UK venue to get a 24-hour music and dance licence in 1990. Eighteen ‘absolutely mental’ years later, the music will finally stop, but not before a 72-hour Easter extravaganza. Here, three of its brightest stars – all spinning tunes at the goodbye gigs – pay their tributes to a legendary London venue
Sister Bliss
Faithless
'Getting asked to DJ there was even more exciting than having a Number One record'.
Ed Simons
The Chemical Brothers
'They're predicting apocalyptic set-times and a three-in-the-afternoon finish!'
Norman Cook
aka Fatboy Slim
'That club means a lot to Zoë and me. We did a lot of copping off there'.
