Attila the Stockbroker and Henry Normal

Attila the Stockbroker and Henry Normal have known each other since the ‘ranting poetry’ scene of the 1980s. 

Henry toured with Pulp and went on to be a hugely successful TV comedy writer (Mrs Merton, The Royle Family) earning a BAFTA award for his company Baby Cow Productions. He is now concentrating on his first love – poetry, frequently featured on BBC Radio.  Henry’s new BBC Radio 4 show ‘A Normal Community’ goes out for the first time on Radio on Thursday 7 July at 6.30pm

Southwick’s Attila the Stockbroker is celebrating 40 years as a poet and musician.  His Collected Works was published last year and he has released a dub poetry album, 40 Years In Rhyme’, featuring Kingsley Salmon, What’s Left Dub and Rebel Control. He’ll be performing some of it tonight as part of his anniversary tour.
