Fatboy Slim – aka Zoe Ball’s husband Norman Cook – is joining Xfm to present a Saturday night show from the end of this month.
We’re told the 10-part series, ‘On The Road To Big Beach Bootique 5’, will feature hour-long mixes of floor fillers, clasic breaks and beats, mash-ups, old skool anthems and Fatboy Slim classics.
It will go out in the 6-7pm slot across both the London and Manchester FM stations. The final show of the 10 airs over the weekend of the Big Beach Bootique at the Amex Stadium in Brighton.
Norman said: “If I was allowed to play a ten hour set at BBB5 this would be just about it.
From the old and the gold to the brand new and good for you, I’ll be mixing in everything to whet your appetite for the party of the year.”
Xfm Programme Director Andy Ashton said: “Norman’s position in Xfm’s history is unquestionable, with so many amazing records and mixes over the years supported by our network. I’m extremely excited to announce this new show as part of our 20 year celebrations and I cannot wait to see the impact Norman will have on Xfm’s weekend offering for the spring and early summer season.”
