Heidi's Love for Prince Knows No Bounds

The Jackathon founder talks strip clubs, shoegazer and keeping it underground on the BBC on the latest episode of Rave Curious.

After sharing a laugh over the strange circumstances of our first meeting while she was working behind the bar at a Windsor strip club in the early '00s, Heidi uses her episode of Rave Curious to explain her obsession with vintage photos of her musical heroes, enthuse about her weekly Jackathon residency in London, and even reveal how she went on a couple dates with a "Canadian millionaire" DJ.
