The Streets’ Mike Skinner is set to give £1,000 away for free as a Christmas gift.
The singer made the money at his label The Beats’ Christmas Bash, following a gambling stint.
He explains: “After a long day talking to The Mitchell Brothers about their new song it was The Beats' Christmas dinner last Thursday night.
“I decided to have it at the casino when I saw Bond. So Magic Mike was saying he would take it easy but as each beer flowed he seemed to be taking on strange force-like powers.”
He continued: “I walked with £1,025 quid in cash in mainly £50 pound notes (I woke up with £1,020 due to a certain lady taking 5 on the way out to work the next morning).
“But I've decided to give it away in a special Beats competition to someone who can use it to have a good Christmas. I feel like a Blue Peter presenter right now.”
To be in with the chance of getting this money, simply email mike@the-beats.co.uk explaining what you think the new Mitchell Brothers song is about.
