, Nicko told The News t:  ”Well, let’s see, 2020, the year that we don’t talk about, it was the 50th anniversary of the Mountbatten Festival, and I was in attendance as a guest… And it just came about that … the people that I met there at the event, they said, ‘Oh, it’d be nice to…’ ’cause it was THE PRODIGY, who did the halftime after the interval. And I was absolutely amazed at it. I thought, ‘There’s these guys playing PRODIGY. It’s brilliant.’ So that was where the idea came about. And they said, ‘Well, what would you like to do next year?’ And I was very honored and humbled, and I immediately agreed.”
