The Pogue Traders - at last!...the return of the Pogue Traders' must catch annual Christmas hoolie in The Dublin Castle, this year nice and early in the day, a bout of Yuletide matinee madness and merriment to take you between Sunday Lunch and Menace...
This afternoon show will be a right Xmas cracker, a Sunday afternoon Fiesta, a marriage made in heaven, truly the finest festive hoedown you could hope for. If you love the music of The Pogues have no fear it's in extremely good hands with these boys and girls. They play a wide selection of classics from all eras of Shane MGowan and company's illustrious back catalogue and do it so incredibly well you don't whether to dance, laugh or cry. Or drink...heavily... if responsibly. About as good a night (or day) out as you could hope for... plus a special guest appearance from Paul "Maddog" McGuiness- Ex-The Popes, (Shane McGowan's critically acclaimed post Pogues band).
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.
