It seems like a long time since Attila was first broken on the airwaves by John Peel. I believe it was 1982. Of course, long before then Attila was an established member of the Brighton punk scene as the bass player of Brighton Riot and those of us who crowded into the Resource Centre and neighbouring taverns will remember this as a time of unprecedented creativity. Bands came and bands went but Attila's career as poet, ranter and activist has never stood still. Artists such as Billy Bragg and New Model Army regularly opened for him whilst he broke down barriers with regular tours of East Germany as was and would have toured North Korea if prior Canadian engagements hadn't got in the way.
His long overdue autobiography is now here and I for one look forward to reading his viewpoint of those heady days and perhaps filling in gaps in my own memories. Attila's gig at The Queens Head will of course coincide with the visit of his beloved Brighton and Hove Albion to a nearby stadium. Win ,lose or draw this one is pretty unmissable.
In support, our very own Chris Butler will continue to unveil new material so an early arrival is advised.
Tickets available at the venue or contact mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.
