SoAaR are delighted to welcome back The Undercover Hippy to Katie Fitzgerald's in Stourbridge as part of their "Poor Little England" album tour.
Drum & Bass MC turned singer-songwriter Billy Rowan, aka The Undercover Hippy, appears to be on a mission to make people think, laugh, and dance simultaneously. Described by Tom Robinson (BBC6Music) as being ?like the love-child of Steel Pulse, Kate Tempest and The Sleaford Mods?, his music brings together powerful messages, infectious reggae rhythms, and a fast paced lyrical delivery. Renowned for the electric atmosphere of their live shows, Billy and his band never fail to leave the crowd feeling inspired and energised, playing tours and festivals across the UK and Europe. Combining intelligent, provocative lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel good groove, this is music for the thinking person to shake their arse to. Think Natty meets Eminem?on a protest march?at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Support from Matt Johnson who is making a big noise on the Grass Roots and festival circuit and is destined for huge things.
17 years of Musical Genius and the best Guinness in town.
We continue to put on a wide range of music here at Katie Fitzgeralds from singer/ songwriters to Blues , Folk, Jazz, Rockabilly , Pop , Indie, metal and world music.

Katie Fitzgeralds has built a reputation for live music and parties but it's about more than that its also about history and tradition.
Originally a private house the building is over 200 years old and has been a pub since the 1830 Beer Act.
In the 19th century it would have been home to foundry workers and boatmen and would have looked out across to the Stourbridge canal arm where Foster and Rastrick built the Stourbridge Lion the first steam locomotive to run on rails in the USA.
Originally known as the Golden Lion it later became known as the Stourbridge Lion and then in 2000 it
became our home and was renamed in honour of Trina's grandmother Katie Fitzgerald who was born in Cloyne County Cork.
Trina is related to Irelands most famous hurling player Christy Ring, a son of Cloyne and is also cousin of Donal ag Cusack , Irelands first openly gay sportsman.
