Attila The Stockbroker's Restoration Christmas Caper - A festive gig where Attila and his early music punk band Barnstormer 1649 will be playing most of their 'Restoration Tragedy' album and a few older pieces.

Crumhorn, cornamuse, rauschpfeife, recorders, fiddle and a punk backline: we aim to combine early music and punk in the same kind of way that The Pogues combined Irish music and punk, and you can hear loads of tracks at soundcloud.com/barnstormer1649 . Attila may even play a few carols on recorders and crumhorn!

Special guests are his old friends - lead vocalist Swill Odgers and legendary fiddler Bobby Valentino from The Men They Couldn't Hang, one of Attila's favourite bands of all time, playing Men classics and some of Swill's solo compositions. Proceedings kick off at 8.15 sharp with some spoken word. And Beery Clashmas and a Hoppy New Year to one and all.

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.
