SUMMARY:Attila the Stockbroker
DESCRIPTION:Punk poet\, latterly dub poet\, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Attila the Stockbroker exploded into public consciousness in 1982-3 via two John Peel sessions and a Melody Maker front cover and is now celebrating 44 years earning a living doing what he loves. So far: 4000 gigs in 24 countries\, some 20 CD/s LPs\, ten books of poems\, his autobiography ‘Arguments Yard’ (Cherry Red Books\, 2015) and his collected works ‘Heart on my Sleeve’ (Cherry Red Books\, 2021) \nHis latest and 10th book of poetry\, ‘Fiery Words for Hellish Times’ was published by Flapjack Press on 13th March. It is searingly topical: the title says it all. And a few months ago his ninth\, ‘A Lifetime of Football Writing (Poems\, Songs & Stories’)’ was published in Finland and is now available in the UK. \nAttila’s current solo performance comprises fiery\, satirical\, political and personal spoken word\, dub poetry\, acoustic songs and early music punk on ancient instruments. He really doesn’t sound like anything else. He’s very prolific and his material is very\, very up to date. In 2024 he did a 14 day run at the Edinburgh PBH Free Fringe called ’14 Days\, 14 Completely Different Shows’ and he reckons he’s got another six hours or so of material to choose from! \nHis latest music album\, endorsed by his old friend\, the now sadly departed Ben Zephaniah\, is a dub poetry collection ’40 Years In Rhyme’ with rhythms from Kingsley Salmon and What’s Left Dub. The previous one\, 2018’s ‘Restoration Tragedy’ recorded with his band Barnstormer 1649\, combines early music and punk – a lifelong ambition – with tales of the English Revolution of 1649.
