Event Type

Genre : Music - General

Description

The Bollock Brothers - legendary late '70s London Punk icons based around the promoter, DJ, manager and all round force of nature Jock McDonald. Still doing it, and still known for some audacious and groovy covers (their English language cover of Serge Gainsbourg's song "Harley David [Son of a Bitch]" and a version of Alex Harvey's "Faith Healer" being fab examples).

Always witrh a wry eye on sassy publicity, their 1983 electro version of the Sex Pistols' Never Mind The Bollocks featured Michael Fagan, the man who infamously entered the Queen's bedchamber at Buckingham Palace. Jimmy Lydon, brother of Johnny Rotten, was also featured vocalist for a short while in the early 1980s, and Youth AKA Martin Glover, the uber producer and Killing Joke bass ace has also starred in their ranks.
Expect some very special guests tonight and a lot of good dirty fun. Always Mind Your Bollocks.

Jack's Got A Plan - tight 3 piece playing acerbic and quirky punky rock with a nice bit of harmonizing.

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.
