Description

It’s a Life’s A Beach Brighton special! ☀️  Fatboy Slim invites Alan to his house for an exclusive  seaside chat.  The pair dive into Norman’s brand new book “It Ain’t Over Till The Fatboy Sings,” the weirdest thing he’s ever sampled (an Ibiza sprinkler!), and why Brighton has always been a haven for eccentrics. There's the story behind the ‘Praise You’ video MTV refused to play, DJ life around the world, skinny-dipping, and Norman’s love of the seaside city he calls home.


Listen out for the cheeky sad trombone cropping up too in this sun-soaked, laugh-filled Brighton episode that’s pure good vibes.
