Delve into Norman Cooks collection

Advantages: Gives Normans fans an idea of how his musical taste and talent has developed
Disadvantages: May not be to everyone's taste

Norman Cook really first arrived on the music scene by developing his dj'ing skills on Brightons club scene at the early age of 18 whilst he was studying at the University of Brighton. A little while on in 1985 a friend of Cook's named Paul Heaton had a new guitar group called the Housemartins, but unfortunately they had just lost their bass player, so Heaton then contacted Cook who agreed to be their new bass player.
