Attila the Stockbroker's 30th Anniversary Tour

Poet and songwriter Attila the Stockbroker started as a punk bass player in 1977, took his inimitable stage name in 1980 during a short stint as a stockbroker's clerk and did his first gig as Attila in1980. Since then he's done about 2,800 more in 21 countries - at every conceivable type of venue, ranging from the Glastonbury Festival (every year since 1983) and countless other music and literature festivals in the UK, Europe, America, Canada and Australia to leftist autonomous centres in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, to Eton and the Oxford Union and a hotel basement in Stalinist Albania.

He's released 6 books of poems and over 20 CDs/LPs. He's utterly self-motivated. He's sometimes on the radio. And all over the internet. He's loud, radical, lyrical, reflective, and will make you roar with laughter as well as seethe with anger. Mellowing out? Bollocks.

“Whether he's ranting a poem or bashing out a song, there is something magnificent

about Attila in full flight” Ian McMillan, BBC Radio 4
