Chris Jagger at Rock N Roll Book Club 'Talking To Myself'...also in conversation with Tony Gleed. Plus full live set by Chris. Come and buy the book, buy the album, meet the author and artist... It?s Chris Jagger?s turn to lift the lid on one of the most colourful and exotic periods in British cultural history as he unrolls an insider?s tale of growing up among the bombsites and ration books of post-war Dartford, weaving through the glittery underground of late 1960s countercultural London, spending months in India before most trod that path, the highs and lows of acting and film work, and pursuing his own unique musical adventures that have resulted in a number of albums and gigs across the world.

Ultimately though it?s the beguiling story of a close-knit family and deep brotherly ties, which endure from both sides of the spectrum...he also simultaneously releases a brand new studio album 'Mixing Up The Medicine' through BMG. Recorded during lockdown with a host of musician friends and peers, overseen by Jagger?s long standing musical wingman and pianist Charlie Hart. From joyful jazz to sea shanties to effortless ska pop, all life is here!

We will be setting the scene with a Chris Jagger roots and shoots DJ set across the evening and showing an exclusive video from the new album.

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.
