Rebel Aces ? fab 4 piece rockabilly band out of North London, doing it right, replete with slap bass, playing covers from Elvis to Stray Cats, and rousing, enigmatic rockabilly readings of songs from  the likes of T-Rex and Depeche Mode. They can ccertainly rock, pure joy. 

Kooky ? Fun loving, thigh slapping, finger snapping four piece group from London. Three women, one chap and some very catchy tunes. Wonderfully naive sounding folk pop with shed loads of charm. 

The Longshots ? On a wonderful rocking end of the punky spectrum tip, with old school r n b based pub rock under the hood. Motorcycles, sulphate and sweat drenched boogie ahoy. Think Feelgoods, Hot Rods, Ducks Deluxe etc.

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.
