Attila the Stockbroker

Inspired by the spirit of punk rock and above all by The Clash and their overtly radical, political stance, Attila the Stockbroker started out 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 record label Cherry Red Records and before very long was on the front cover of Melody Maker… and he hasn’t looked back since! 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 will make you roar with laughter as well as seethe with anger…
