KONTAKT & THE AUDITORIUM Present.....
>> HOWARD MARKS (Mr Nice) / CHANNEL ONE <<
>>> SATURDAY MARCH 5th 2011 <<<
@ The Auditorium, Leicester Market Place, Leicester, LE1-5GF
For this one off special event we are hosting a two part dance, the first part is a very rare appearance from a true urban legend, the one and only Howard Marks aka Mr Nice who will be live on stage talking to the audience for an hour including a Q&A section giving you chance to ask him anything that's on your mind.
If you're not sure who Howard Marks is READ BELOW....
During the mid 1980s, Howard Marks had forty-three aliases, eighty-nine phone lines, and twenty five companies trading throughout the world.
Bars, recording studios, offshore banks: all were money-laundering vehicles serving the core activity: dope dealing.
Marks began to deal during a postgraduate philosophy course at Oxford and was soon moving large quantities of hashish into Europe and America in the equipment of touring rock bands. The academic life began to lose its allure.
At the height of his career, he was smuggling consignments of up to thirty tons from Pakistan and Thailand to America and Canada and had contact with organisations as diverse as the CIA, MI6, the IRA, and the Mafia.
After many years and a world-wide operation by the Drug Enforcement Agency, he was busted and sentenced to twenty five years in prison at the United States Federal Penitentiary, Terre Haute, Indiana, the site of America's only Federal Death Row.
He was released on parole in April 1995 after serving seven years of his sentence.

........ Then from midnight the mighty Channel One Sound System from London who are the current Red Bull Culture Clash champions take over to finish the night off in style with four hours of dub plate pressure.
