Selfridges Birmingham DJ Fat Tony Book Signing and Q&A

Join DJ Fat Tony and his co-author Michael Hennegan in conversation, as they celebrate the paperback release of I Don’t Take Requests. Harrowing, honest, and funny, I Don’t Take Requests is the candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes. It’s a story of getting it all and losing it all. Addiction, recovery, and starting again. Drawing a vivid portrait of Britain’s street culture from the 1980’s to the noughties. DJ Fat Tony describes his childhood on a London estate where he honed his petty criminality, was abused by an older man, and became best friends with Boy George. He spent his teenage years parading the Kings Road in his latest (mostly stolen) clobber, worked as a receptionist at a brothel, hung out with Leigh Bowery and Andy Warhol, and created his drag persona, before becoming DJ to the stars (including Prince and Madonna) and spiralling into a life threatening drug addiction.

Now 16 years sober he has enjoyed a renaissance in life, becoming one of fashion's favourite DJs. He does this whilst being a leading voice on the sobriety scene and an LGBTQ activist.

Tickets cost £10 and include a copy of I Don't Take Requests, a Q&A panel discussion, as well as a live DJ set from Tony himself.
