LUCY KITT
...Lucy is a young singer- songwriter from the UK, creating a buzz with her fresh and exciting approach to the folk rock sound. Writing with a style that evoke's some of the great female singer songwriter's of the 70's, her songs are inspired by honesty, passion's and truth's from experiences along the way. Her self- penned, and soulful songs continue to connect with audiences through their heartfelt and confessional lyrics. It is rare to see so many influences crammed into music, and lucys songs span the wide spectrum of folk, grunge and blues, with a distinct twist of her own individual style people find difficult to pigeon hole....

Their highly eclectic sound encompasses folk, world, psychedelic, jazz, prog and rock music, showcasing original song writing, inter-weaved with instrumental freak-outs...Back by popular demand...
VIBE MACHINE
...Blending the traditional funk and jazz sounds of fender rhodes, double bass and drum kit Vibe Machine set out their beats and grooves to back the voice and message of Dave Pepper (bard of albion and lord of the mic). Dave has been a regular and popular performer at festivals around the country over the last few years. The group formed in 2009 and then played throughout the summer in many locations including Lovebox, Small World festival, Passing Clouds, The Vibe Bar (brick lane), Making Waves festival and also forming the backline of the house band for YouNite! at The Others in Stokey. Drawing on a wide range of influences VibeMachine are pleased to present their Know Folk Funk Punk Poetry for your listening pleasure...

Basically The Bar Below is one of the most relaxing, well laid out places Ive ever come across. It is rapidly gaining renown as a truely unique venue having held some fantastic music events already such as 'Underground Sound' and 'The Loco Lounge', to name but a few. The acoustics are great the lighting fantastic and the staff friendly and helpful, theres even a STAIR CHAIR for those who find stairs difficult. It's also decked out with nice comfy sofas (see pics) for those wishing to take the weight off their feet !
Please if you can, help by forwarding this email on to interested parties

Hope youre all well, see you there and please bring your freinds.

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm 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 favourite places and stuff, and I hear it was a useful resource for those 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 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 BTW, the name comes from a pretend 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 offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
