Just looking for mentions of Marine Pavilion in my archives, now I see it is about to be demolished. That's the Parisienne / Grizzly Den / Bonkers nightclub of course, more recently known as Onyx (though not by anyone that I've ever spoken to).
Every time I saw mentions of gigs at Folkestone Pavilion I though it was that place up Wear Bay Road of that name, but of course it is more likely to have been the night club that I now know was known as Marine Pavilion.
Cheerio anyway rubbish nightclub. I went there about ten years ago, it was not very good and will not be missed.
This is my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons 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 only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from 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 contact me if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
