Gail Thibert's 'Soap The Stamps' is a a true tale of punk rock, motorbikes, squats and sewing... This lovely memoir tracks Gail's journey from Suburban teen punk rebel to tarot card psychic and all motorbikin', hair dyin', rocknrollin'points inbetween. From her base in Epping Forest Gail still finds time for sewing and also busies herself singing and playing with a few punk bands,, like Mad Inc., Sarah Pink's Gravediggers and the infamous anarcho pop sensations Flowers In The Dustbin. Wayne Reid - 'My Book Innit' is a disarming and rollicking ride thru punk , 2 Tone and rocknroll times gone by, from Dagenham to L.A, via Cov and all points in between, the story of a young man living and loving life to the full. As Wayne sez 'We were kids. It was our job to misbehave'!
Tonight in this extended RNR Book Club Tony Bugbear and Julie Hamill will be posing the questions to Gail and Wayne and supplying the cool counterctural punk sounds fore and aft. Plus a live performance by the aforementioned Ms Pink and co., and do arrive nice and early for a bit of unplugged punk joy from the craftily monkered Ukulele Subs.

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.
