The Ramones 1980

The Ramones 1980

I saw The Ramones in 1980 at the Canterbury Odeon. A brilliant gig. I left covered in gob and my ears were ringing for 4 days. I seem to remember that the front row seats also left with us. I still have one of Dee Dee Ramone's guitar plectrums. Take it Dee Dee! 1,2,3,4!

This is my site The FG that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for others who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from the name of a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
