@FenlandGent Best thing I've found in that NME back issue. - on the evening of [year=1984]24/5/84[/year] Black Flag & HUSKER DU played at "Peter Pipers" in Folkestone
I'm guessing it's a previous name for Pipers but anyone know for sure? I got in touch with @FenlandGent but they had no idea, they were just pleased to see a mention of their favourite bands playing a double bill like that in an old NME.
Anyone out there gigging in the [year]1980[/year]s who might have been at this gig?
It's nice to have a bit more Folkestone gig history anyway.
This is my site The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when we first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and stuff, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of 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 now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend 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 get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
