| Sharp
tongued, high energy, social surrealist rebel poet and songwriter Attila the Stockbroker
returns to Glossop Labour Club
with his new Making
Poetry History
show. His themes are topical, his words hard-hitting, his politics
unashamedly radical, but Attila will make you roar with laughter as
well as seethe with anger... Inspired by the spirit and the 'Do It Yourself' ethos of punk rock, and above all by The Clash and their overtly radical, political stance, he started as a punk bass player in 1977 and took the name Attila the Stockbroker in 1980, blagging spots for his poems and songs in between bands at punk gigs. He quickly got a couple of John Peel radio sessions, a deal with London independent label Cherry Red Records and before very long was on the cover of Melody Maker. He hasn't looked back since! Attila has done about 100 gigs a year since 1982, over 2500 in total, visiting 19 countries, and has published 4 books and over 20 LPs/CDs.
