JAMES LAVELLE AT SNATCH The UNKLE and Mo'Wax man previews new film at filthy disco Snatch
Snatch? Sounds bloody obscene! And indeed it is. Imagine if Studio 54 was reopened in SCunthorpe with a music policy limited to the finest cheese. a clientele of drunken reprobates. an assortment of bunny girls and a host named Harry Ainsworth who's in posseSSion of the most diabolical patter this side of
Saturday evening TV.
Harry Ainsworth? We heard that name before. The huger camp Ainsworth is the creation of Garth Cruikshank who. alongside partner Eddie McCabe. won the Perrier Best Newcomer award at the Fringe last year.

84 THE LIST FESTIVAL GUIDE ii to Aug 7002
Bravo! But if he‘s so damn funny, why are they showing films? James Lavelle. boss of Mo'Wax records and one half. with DJ Shadow. of UNKLE. has made a film. and thought Snatch would be the ideal place to have a related club event (in association with the Film Festival). ‘It came as a bit of a surprise. to be honest.‘ says Cruikshank. 'but I'm sure it‘ll be cool. Lot's of schmoozing and the
Iike.‘
Oh, so it‘s a social? Sort of. Lavelle will be hosting a 20 minute discussion, before DJing with Shinola and 3D from Massive Attack, after which the Snatch kids take Over to do their dirty business. It may be civilised at the start. but it'll
end up very messy . . . (James Macklin)
