My debut as a director. I made a feature documentary about the notorious @FatboySlim party in 2002 on Brighton beach. 40,000 ravers were expected on the day but a quarter of a million turned up and chaos ensued. Premiering on Sky Documentaries on Saturday 4th of Feb! #FatboySlim
Buzzing to be working with @docnrollfest this Wednsday. They're screening the fantastic new Punk Brighton documentary at @DukesBrighton and afterwards I'm hosting the Q&A with director Kev Wright and other specials guests from the film and the crew. See ya there!

Tomorrow in Brighton. Join us for an evening of talks about heavy metal. It’s @DigitalDanSolo book launch too. He wrote a book about Slipknot. And yes, that’s me in my Nana’s kitchen in 2002. I’m what they call a Day One Maggot.

Was at a Q&A book launch event for one of my favourite writers Jesse Bernard with one of my favourite academic friends Dr Joy White @JoyWhite2 with my other favourite music journalist @JAK_TH at my favourite bookshop @AfroriBooks.
Jesse’s book ‘Escaping Babylon: An Intimate History of Black British Music’ is out now and a MUST BUY for anyone interested in contemporary Black culture and music. The fact that the book is not London centric is even sweeter.
Really looking forward to reading this once marking season is over. Jak and Jesse made the book sound great and interspersing the interview with key tracks made for a great evening.
