FATBOY Slim’s daughter has performed her first live festival DJ set.
Nelly Cook premiered as a DJ under the stage name Fat Girl Slim in 2020 at Camp Bestival’s virtual Easter Sleepover event.
The performance was to raise money for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust and The Trussell Trust.
Bestival took place at the weekend at its usual capacity of 30,000 and 11-year-old Nelly was there to perform her first live festival set.
It felt like all my birthdays came at once being back on stage at @CampBestival and watching #FatGirlSlim play her first ever festival set.
