Annie Mac appeals for stolen USB: "I just want the music back"

Author and former radio host Annie Mac has appealed for the return of a USB that was stolen at a recent club night she DJed at.

Mac hit the decks at her regular ‘Before Midnight’ club night on Friday when her USB was stolen from the booth, containing a decade’s worth of music that the ex BBC Radio 1 DJ said doesn’t exist elsewhere.

The Irish broadcaster is appealing for whoever took the USB to return it, promising that there will be no repercussions involved.

“The music on that USB is truly precious and really important to me. It’s years and years of collected music from shows I’ve done all over the world and it would mean so much to me if you could do me the grace of returning it,” Mac said in a statement. “There will be no repercussions, I just want the music back. Thank you. Annie.”

The USB can be anonymously returned to Locket / Goodlife Management, FAO/Annie Mac, 3rd Floor, 11-13 Market Square, London W1W8AH.

Annie Mac introduced ‘Before Midnight’ earlier this year. Billed as a club night “for people who need sleep”, events run from 7pm till the stroke of midnight.

Mac also announced today a run of 10 ‘Before Midnight’ club nights set to take place around the UK and Ireland next year. Fans can access a pre-sale by filling out a Google Doc which you can find here.

Pre-sale will happen on Wednesday (December 14), while general sale tickets will be available from Friday (December 16).

Annie Mac is bringing her tour to Vicar Street, Dublin on March 17th 2023, and Belfast's Banana Block the following day (March 18th).

As Mac previously said on the series: "Before Midnight is a chance for me to play long DJ sets with all my favourite records, those ones that spark joy, and a chance for you to have all the fun, the euphoria and the wild abandon you need and STILL get a good night's sleep.”

The DJ's second novel, The Mess We’re In, is also due out in May 2023.
