Just watching Snowbombing and the lady interviewing Fatboy / Norman Cook said is this the strangest place you've ever played.  In answering he said that he had played Glastonbury on the back of a truck whilst it was driving around once.

Did anyone catch this?!

A friend of mine says that he usually plays 3 or 4 times at random spots during the weekend.  

My question is what are the odds that one can find this information out while over there?  Is it pure luck or does word get around in some form of print media/screaming it from the loudspeakers?

Does anyone know if he is playing any special gigs this year?

Saw him playing a tiny sound system in the markets near the bandstand once to an audience of 50ish. It was while Isaac Hayes (RIP) was on the Pyramid, we'd got bored of waiting for chocolate salty balls.

Last year me and her were in the Drag Strip at Trash City. Just about to leave a bloke comes up and says Fatboy Slim is on next. We're like f**k off and he's like nah it's gospel. My mate is working here and he told me. So we hang about a bit. Next up is Selfish C*nt who were bizarre and most definitely worth a swatch. BUT Fatboy SLim they weren't. Turns out Fatboy Slim was playing then but he was playing just outside where we were in this massive Pinball place not 100 metres from us.

Close but no cigar - that's what it's all about. Sometimes you see one of the big names in an intimate setting and sometimes you miss it by a ballhair. Keep your ear to the ground.

Norm played his smallest ever gig at Glastonbury about ten years ago, in Miniscle of Sound.

Is it still there? I've not seen it for around 5 years.
