With their endless procession of amazing smash hit singles there was a pervasive theory that Slade were the Beatles of the 1970s, in the UK at least. The melody, the wit, the passion, the stomping rocknroll, the 4 distinct and equally loveable characters in the band...Suzan Holder, Noddy Holder's missis doncha know, is an established author, and earlier this year published a book that perhaps squared that circle...

Suzan's book 'Shake It Up Beverley' is the first ever book to be launched at the Beatles Museum in Liverpool. A novel where the protagonist, Beverley Wilson, is a fifty-something mother of three, who decides to re-enter the dating world after the death of her husband. With a subtext throughout of Beatles history and other 'Pool based 1960s lore, the Fab Four are never far away from the action. You even get the privilege of entering the McCartney home in Speke and the Casbah Coffee Club! Now, Suzan has published a second novel, this time with Elvis in the frame... Elvis Presley, not the guy down the chipshop...

Yes... ELVIS IS BACK! Suzan Holder takes us behind the gates of Graceland in this tale of a young girl searching for the truth about her beloved Nana Rose?s link to the King of Rock ?n? Roll. Journalist and TV producer Suzan once again weaves her love for music into a hilarious and heart-warming story that is uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny.

Daisy?s grandmother makes a shocking deathbed confession about Elvis that triggers a journey to Memphis. Will Daisy solve the musical mystery and is a moody motorcycle cop called Blue the answer to her dreams?

Pack your Blue Suede Shoes for a rockin? rom-com. Suzan says: ?I love that my books celebrate music and have been inspired by my own life experience of living in a slightly crazy, rock ?n? roll, rom-com world?some of the weirdest and funniest stories in the books really have happened to me!? Suzan Holder trained as a newspaper journalist and worked on regional and national newspapers before moving into TV. She produced a variety of television news and lifestyle programmes and was executive producer of ITV?s daytime network show ?Loose Women?.

Rock ?n? Rose & Shake It Up, Beverley - published by One More Chapter, HarperCollins.

We're very pleased to welcome Rebel Aces to the Dublin Castle stage tonight to entertain you this evening with a couple of sets of prime, backbeat bangin' boogie woogie rockabilly, joining the dots beautifully between Sun Records era King and Hamburg big beat Beatles... and beyond!

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.
