When Weird Thing, Moped Johnny and Sensible Grey Cells batteur extraordinaire the lovely Mr Martin Parrot waited for Bugbear at the end of a dark alley one night rocking a perky proposition we knew we were in for a reet treat. And at Christmas!

So tonight's gift that keeps giving is all about combining four exciting and invigorating exponents of ferocious female fronted punk n roll (Riot Grrrl des nos jours with that London twist) and the exotic dancing of empowered women - and maybe men- from the Burlesque/Boy-esque scene. So we're very pleased to welcome Rachel Darq (Crumpet, Rock N Roll Cabaret) back to The Dublin Castle with her supercool cohorts to really up the bump and grind ante... decadence, punk rock and crackers all round...Santa's sack is that wee bit plumper this year.

Female fronted punk nite bands , a burlesque element, DJs til 2am, an iconic venue...'Grrrlesque Burlesque' is born...

Description

The Dublin Castle is a legendary pub and music venue located 2 minutes away from Camden Town tube station. It has been run by the same family for over 28 years and features 4 live bands every night as well as a great selection of beers, ciders and wines.

There are DJs after the bands on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and a fabulous jukebox in the front bar if you’re after a more relaxed atmosphere.

But what is it that makes the Dublin Castle the long-standing centre of the indie rock universe? Is it because it’s Madness’ birthplace? Because its stage has been graced by everyone from Blur, through Coldplay, Supergrass, The Killers, The Arctic Monkeys, Billy Bragg, etc? Is it because it was no surprise to see Amy Winehouse behind the bar serving costumers? Or Suggs? (who, mind you, tended to ignore costumers and serve himself) Or is it because far from being just another Camden venue it has established itself as an indie rock institution? The answer is that it’s not only because of its musical heritage that people come to the Dublin Castle, it’s because whilst you enjoy a pint, play some tunes on the jukebox, check out the live bands, get your dancing shoes on for our DJs, chat to our friendly staff or even stage-invade a little, you’re inadvertently being part of this movement the Dublin Castle leads, this cultural legacy. Expect no castle battlements. Just pure rock and roll royalty.
