Hi, thought I would let you know we are now opening on Sunday evenings for drinks, bar snacks and live music. Hope you can make it!
Sunday Sessions kick off on 18th October with Dulcie May Moreno - People's Music Awards nominee - Best female.
Stripped to the bone sultry and soulful, Dulcie May is perfect for lounging on hazy Sunday afternoons with a jazz woodbine over the Sunday papers. Ignoring the lessons learned after Charles Manson she claims to have hippy friends and comes from Guildford, though she more than makes up for this with her breathy organic and sultry tones. She takes her musical cues from Nina Simone, John Martyn and Tracy Chapman with the aim of reaching deep into the river of your soul.
We will be open for drinks and traditional bar snacks inspired by our new Autumn menu from 6pm-11pm.
For more details or to book a table call 01303 259 535 or email info@numberelevenfolkestone.co.uk.
This is part of my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came here in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while 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 best venues and stuff, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving here. 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 becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from the name of a fake newspaper 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 great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
