Who can do that better than 'club culture's national treasure' DJ Fat Tony, whose friends include the likes of Kate Moss, the Beckhams and even Elton John. Also the full turning of the circle with sobriety and Tony now sponsoring other addicts through their journey is a fitting end, as what appears to be a spiritual life now. As one of club culture’s most notorious – and best loved – figures, Tony is a complete force of nature. I usually hid to not suffer his wrath, man he could be vicious if you were in the firing line, but hella honest and super funny.

Tony's antics are the kind that were really only possible in the era just preceding omnipresent social media. It made me laugh out loud more than anything I've read recently, but it was also hard to consume and very sad at times. Yep, so that pretty graphic opening sentence tells you straight off the bat that DJ Fat Tony is not holding back when it comes to telling his story.Now, he is 14 years sober and, alongside working to help others overcome addiction, DJing for everyone from Elton John to Louis Vuitton and the Beckhams - and running one of lockdown's most popular Instagram accounts with its wickedly funny memes. I Don’t Take Requests is Fat Tony’s breathtakingly candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes.

His tales of London nightlife back in the day and battling his addictions are addictive to listen to and keep you wanting more.

Here he tells the most extraordinary stories of depravity and hedonism, of week-long benders and extreme self-destruction—and of recovery, redemption, friendship and the joy of a good tune. Here he tells the most extraordinary stories of depravity and hedonism, of week-long benders and extreme self-destruction – and of recovery, redemption, friendship and the joy of a good tune.Drawing a vivid portrait of Britain's street culture from the 1980s 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. It’s honest, it’s raw and it’s opened up my eyes to a lot of unresolved trauma that I have been carrying that I possibly wouldn’t have recognised before now but please do not think it’s a self help book, it’s witty and it’s real - I’m going to recommend this to some friends who I know will also take away something more from this.

Making someone laugh when they’ve just finished crying is on of the most beautiful things to ever exist”.

We’ve heard all about troublesome Tony, but the beauty of this book is hearing about the hard work he’s put into himself and others. What was lovely was Tony's reconnection with his dad, largely down to a criminal charge and court appearance. I mainly enjoyed the backdrop of an 80s and 90s central London music scene, from the New Romantics to early house to hard house and the evolution of the superclub and superstar DJ.He does this whilst being a leading voice on the sobriety scene, an LGBTQ activist and has recently found a new legion of fans through his social media account of irreverent memes, becoming an unlikely hero of lockdown. Around a third of the way through I was losing interest in his hedonistic stories which all started to sound similar. Everyone loves a memoir, especially one where the details are extra juicy, offering the latest in fashion gossip. It’s definitely an entertaining read, and for anyone interested is a history of the London gay-club scene through the 80s, 90s, and 00s.
