Great to hear, nice story of nearly "making it" too, that's a lot further than 99% of bands get!
Just thought, I wonder if Black Sabbath played twice in Folkestone around that time? As the first gig I added here for [year]1970[/year] was supposedly at the Art College. Not sure where I got that info from, possibly Marmalade Skies... lots of folkestone there...
This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, and I know it was a handy resource for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
