Hmm, read in the Folkestone Herald this weekend about the 20th anniversary of Chambers and they talk about the bands who have played there including Motorhead and the Kings of Leon... True, I have heard the tale that Lemmy played the fruit machine in there, and Kings of Leon played pool, both before doing a gig at the Leas Cliff Hall. It's not quite what people would understand by "played there"...
This is my website The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
