King Joe & The Atlantics ? exciting British based six-piece group influenced by the electrifying sounds of Rhythm & Blues of the 1940?s, 50?s and early 60?s.

From the ashes of Big Town Playboys, who rocked many a packed Dublin Castle show back in the 1990s. The Atlantics line-up includes a truly outstanding selection of experienced & renowned players including Nick Lunt (Jools Holland R&B Orchestra), Al Nicholls (Big Town Playboys) and Wayne Lee (Son of Guitar legend Albert Lee), along with up & coming youthful musicians thrown in the mix.

This matinee performance promises to be a fiesta of old school hot to trot joy, featuring finestyle party down dance music like they used to make, played fabulously well, with attention to detail and superb chops all round.

 Hot support from Skull Puppets ? deffo a garage band, that much is indisputable. They get together in a garage down the garden, to make a Cramps inspired cathartic noise and kick out the blues. Songs of darkness, fuzzy noise and voodoo charm! Thud, howl, clang and breathe? Rock and Roll!

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.
