Hi I'm Alan Lockwood I worked as a booker with The Tempest Agency in the early 60's with Lorna (his girlfriend) We brought all the Motown acts into the UK which I am sure you saw in your part of the world Roy was a hustler of the first order and it was when he tried to com me out of commission for booking everything into the Top Ten Club Hamburg that we parted company. All his vehicles were insured in my name and I just cancelled the policies..... great days.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first moved here sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for others who were moving to the area. 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 The town 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 paper 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 GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
