Despite being sober for the best part of a decade, Harris, alongside his friend Mark Irving, has acquired the pub he used to drink in before he achieved fame with hits such as One Kiss (2018) and Body Moving (2024).

A source quoted by the Scottish Sun said: “Calvin is proud of where he was raised and has strong ties to his hometown.”
“Calvin and Mark have now taken over and Mark is landlord. They have created a company called To The Nines. It’s a gorgeous little pub with a great atmosphere,” the source explained. “It’s a great grassroots music venue too, which is something they’re really proud of.”
To The Nines is listed on companies house as being under the directorship of Irving and ‘Adam Wiles’, which is Harris’ real name. The correspondence address is just over the border in Carlisle.
Harris left Dumfries for London in the early 2000s before returning once again to Scotland – the international superstar DJ now has a manor house in the Cotswolds, as well as an organic farm in Ibiza.
Celebrity landlords
Harris is far from the only celebrity to have invested in a local pub – the DJ joins the likes of director Guy Ritchie (Lore of the Land, Fitzrovia), thespian Ian McKellen (The Grapes, Limehouse), and, most recently, motoring journalist and agriculture advocate Jeremy Clarkson (The Farmer’s Dog, Burford).
