Attila The Stockbroker Live

Attila The Stockbroker, a British punk poet and folk punk songwriter, performs aboard the Golden Hinde on St Mary Overie Dock in London, combining spoken word, songs and dub poetry in one evening.

Attila The Stockbroker is a British punk poet, folk punk musician and songwriter, born in 1957 in Southwick. The first album, Ranting at the Nation, appeared in 1983, and the act has been performing since 1980. Over that time it has played more than 4,000 concerts in 26 countries. The body of work includes ten poetry books, more than twenty albums, an autobiography and a collection gathering material from several decades.

On stage, Attila combines spoken word with music, humour and social commentary. The show features hard-hitting poems, acoustic songs and dub poetry, alongside a selection of early material. The performer has worked with this blend of words and music for more than four decades, and the approach is personal and political in its subject matter.

The Golden Hinde, on St Mary Overie Dock in London, is a venue whose programme centres on pop, rock and indie concerts. For this performance, the evening takes place aboard the ship, which suits listeners interested in spoken word, punk poetry and folk punk songs.
