Club Velocity presents
Attila The Stockbroker
As part of his massive tour to promote his autobiography 'Arguments Yard' (published by Cherry Red Books in early September) and celebrate 35th years as being Attila The Stockbroker.
Attila started as a punk bass player in 1977. Since then he’s done about 2,800 gigs in 21 countries - at venues, ranging from the Glastonbury Festival (every year since 1983) to a hotel basement in Stalinist Albania. He’s released 6 books of poems and over 20 CDs/LPs. And he’s even more fired up now than when he first started!
His Autumn UK 2015 tour covers a thirty five year period encompassing the Falklands War and the Miners’ Strike, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the war in Iraq and his tribute to his late mother who died in June after a 6 year battle with Alzheimer’s. Interspersed, as ever, are some silly and occasionally very rude bits about dead cats and dirty sleeping bags.
'Whether he’s ranting a poem or bashing out a song, there’s something majestic about Attila in full flight’ (Ian McMillan, BBC Radio 4)
