Description

Laurie Wright - Gloucester's Finest, the fiery fizz of Laurie Wright's songcraft and acidic pop delivery augmented brilliantly by crack band (formerly known as The Lockdown) who are all excellent players. The Lockdown even feature a dedicated harmonica blaster, and there's a healthy dose of post Brit Rock Oasis style anthemic passion in the mix too. A fantastic blend of edgy indie and roots staples from folk and rhythm n blues traditions, this band have mass appeal. For fans of Dylan, The La's, Tom Petty, The Stones... and Mr Wright himself is a fireball of passion and energy, recalling a Stevie Marriott for our times as he soul shouts his blues at the mic or rips out another raw, searing guitar solo...also tonite... totally tore the Dublin Castle a new one in their recent sell out show, so this much anticipated return leg is a must kids.

Mungrul - slinky triphop tinged grime, with a lovely louche, laconic rap and effortless good vibes aplenty, very nice.

Lilo- impassioned uber pop put together perfectly featuring the talents of this very talented young woman, the nominative Lilo.

Super Swamp Jellyfish - London's own psychedelic pop hinged rock n roll banger machine. Taking in the influences of The Bluetones, Oasis and The Stone Roses and pumping out their very own brand of scallydelic wonderment, these chaps made a lot of new friends when they supported Laurie Wright at the aforementioned Dublin Castle Bugbear happening a few weeks ago. Great live band, ace songs.

The North By South- folk, jazz, blues, hiphop and indie rock all channelled thru one man and his guitar, as the name represents, a lot more going on here than just another acoustic guitar singer songwriter troubadour. Dividing his time between London and Manchester and collaborating with some remarkable people along the way, there's a 21st Century Beat Generation sensibility here that really satisfies. Arrive early and check this guy out.

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.
