Of course, why didn't I think of them when I was after animal named bands to headline this zoo festival? Apart from them being indie no marks I mean, who an old giffer like me would not have called a headliner.
We are very happy to announce The Wombats as our first headliner. The lovely Liverpudlians will be heading to Kent! With their recent huge success and having won "Best Dancefloor Filler" for their single Let's Dance To Joy Division at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008, we thought they would be the perfect act to be one of our main stage headliners.
This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. 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 used to be a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
