The Worcestershire Literary Festival is delighted to annouce the return of Attila The Stockbroker who will be performing at Evesham Arts Centre as part of the Festival on Saturday 18th June 2011.
Attila The Stockbroker is a sharp tongued, high energy, social surrealist rebel poet and songwriter. His themes are topical, his words hard-hitting, his politics unashamedly radical, but he aims to 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 songs and poems 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! His 30th anniversary as Attila was on September 8th 2010, and he is celebrating with a nationwide tour including a stop at Evesham Arts Centre as part of the Worcestershire LiteraryFestival.
