“Attila The Stockbroker”

Attila The Stockbroker

Click Here to Book Your Tickets in advance : Standard : £10.00 (£12.00 On The Day )

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 43 years earning a living doing what he loves.

So far: nearly 4000 gigs in 24 countries, some 20 CD/s LPs, eight books of poems, his autobiography ‘Arguments Yard’ (Cherry Red Books, 2015) and his collected works ‘Heart on my Sleeve’ (Cherry Red Books, 2021)

His latest 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, and his 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.

Attila the Stockbroker formed the band Barnstormer in 1994, with the initial aim of combining punk rock and early music, which they did to an extent on their debut album, The Siege of Shoreham, in 1996.

Then Barnstormer’s line up changed: they turned into a melodic punk band and for the next 22 years performed regularly across Europe, doing over 500 gigs and releasing three further albums, Just One Life (2000) Zero Tolerance (2004) and Bankers and Looters (2012).

In 2018, Attila, who has always been interested in the history of the radical movements spawned in the aftermath of the English Civil War, wrote and recorded an album, Restoration Tragedy on that theme, combining early music and punk. He changed the name of the band to Barnstormer 1649 (the year of King Charles I of England’s execution and the revolutionary uprisings by the Levellers and Diggers).

Attila’s current 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.
And his material is very, very up to date.

‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ by Tennessee Williams

St Austell Players : "Streetcar Named Desire"

St Austell Players present Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire”

Blanche Dubois arrives in New Orleans from the rural Mississippi plantation where she and her sister Stella grew up.

It is 1947 and the world has changed.

Stella has married a ‘common’ working man who looked so glamorous in uniform with his medals on show.  Blanche is looking for happiness but can she find it amongst Stanley’s bawdy, poker playing friends?

The weather and the music are hot, the neighbourhood is mixed, rowdy and crowded and Blanche must try to navigate this strange new world.

Stella tries to keep the peace in her tiny apartment as tensions build.
