The Future of Ashford Rocks.
Some of you may have heard through the grapevine that Ashford Rocks is closing, Well at least in the near future
IT IS NOT. The situation is that I have an agreement with Ashford Town FC to hold these functions. Unfortunately Ashford Town FC and their landlords Ashford Holdings have had a disagreement and the consequence of this is that the Landlords have changed the locks and expelled Ashford Town FC.
They have however agreed that Ashford Rocks can continue for the near future, there may however be new tenants at Homelands that may not share our and your taste in music and they may want to stop the Ashford Rocks shows.
Your Support is Needed.
I would like to ask that as many of you as is possible come to the next shows, if we want to carry on with Ashford Rocks we may need to prove to any new tenant that this is what we want, only by turning up in force can we show that Ashford and you want regular Rock Gigs here, so please turn up in your numbers and support the next few gigs, together we can show any new tenant that we want these things to continue.
Friday 24th June - Moesaboa, More than Normal, Gummy Babies
Friday 8th July - 1st Annual MonkFest (My Birthday) My life in the making, Glisten, Tortilla Army, Zeroscape (From Canada)
Friday 22nd July - Gutworm, Blind Summit, Los Salvadores

This is not bullshit, it is reality. People Power almost always wins, so please support me on this.
Thank you one and all. Apologies if you have received this more than once, I have just blasted everybody I can think of, It's your call, Spread the word.
Steve, Organiser Ashford Rocks !
This is part of my website The FG that I built in a fury of excitement when we first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a useful reference for those who were moving here. 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 knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend paper 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 GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
