Description

The Thin Lizzy story is a tale of romance, rock riffs and some of the greatest music to come blasting over the airwaves from a band that gigged extensively in the early 1970s before breaking through with 'Whiskey in the Jar' and then 'Jailbreak' and 'The Boys Are Back in Town'.

35 sad years since the much mourned Phil Lynott passed away, and this book takes you back to the glory days of the 1970s and 1980s, with the Lizzy story told in the words of over 300 fans as they remember Phil, Brian, Eric, Scott, Brian, Robbo, Gary, Snowy, John ? and Midge!

RocknRoll Book Club is very pleased to welcome author Richard Houghton to the Dublin Castle to discuss the book with Tony Gleed, followed by a Q and A ...buy a copy, get it signed, buy two!

We then welcome Dizzy Lizzy to the stage to play a blistering set of Lizzy music, meaning all the classics from across their incredible career by the UK's premier Thin Lizzy tribute band. Ace!

Also tonight Jacoby open proceedings with their snappy psychedelic pop full of infectious grooves (Beatles, Oasis, Kinks - a fine band, not to be missed) and DJs We Got Killers take you right thru to 2am.

Have you got a bit of Thin Lizzy in you? Well, do you want some?! Tonight's the night.

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.
