Bilk are an exciting rock and roll band hailing from Chelmsford, Essex. Fusing elements of rock and roll, punk, indie and rap, Bilk?s style can never be pigeon holed.

Fronted by charismatic lead singer and guitarist Sol Abrahams and backed by Luke Hare on bass guitar and Harry Gray on drums, Bilk?s music speaks to the youth of today with relatable songs about partying, love, growing up and life in modern Britain in general amongst other things.

The band have a strong cult following of die hard fans who sing every lyric at the shows they attend and have tattoos of the band?s iconic snail logo. Bilk has grown from strength to strength with multiple sell out tours and major festival appearances around the UK packing out the stages of Reading and Leeds festival, Boardmasters, Kendal calling and TRNSMT festival amongst others. After releasing their debut self-titled album in 2023.

The band have just released their second album ?Essex, Drugs and Rock and Roll?. They have just completed their biggest UK and European tour. With frantic sold-out shows, relatable and witty lyrics, riffs that rival the greats and choruses to sing along with, Bilk are a band not to be missed.

Bugbear are very pleased to welcome Bilk to the sainted DC stage.

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.
