The festival over three days attracted over 40,000 fans last year and the prediction for this year is 50,000. MLitM manager and Zebra 3 records owner Ben Watson who has organised the tour has also been asked by the Festival to join the panel as a speaker on Independent Record labels in the U.K at the mid-point music festival seminar. During the days MlitM have a packed itinery with an interview with the Cincinnati post, two tracks being played and an interview on WEBN radio and an appearance on Fox 19 television.

"Contemplating Concepts Of Forever" was released on April 4 2005 on Zebra 3 Records
My Life In The Making is :
Ken Graham on Vocals
Ted Clark on Guitar / Vocals
Sam Alflatt on Bass
Tom Alflatt on Drums
My Life In The Making exploded out of Kent this April, armed with their debut full length, "Contemplating Concepts Of Forever", featuring ten roundhouse blows of passionate melodic metal.
Whilst citing heavyweights such as Glassjaw, Tool, Deftones, Thursday, Machine Head and Faith No More as their main influences, My Life In The Making are intent on creating a name for themselves for what they sound like, not as an identikit of their influences. "Contemplating Concepts Of Forever" is a passionate offering which maintains it's British accent whilst looking set to charm audiences globally.
The group embarked on a "sold out" UK tour in August and now head stateside for some shows and festival appearance in September. Having already shared stages with Lostprophets, Biffy Clyro, Hundred Reasons and Sparta, there's no reason why My Life In The Making can't step it up a notch off the back of this record, and make the leap into the spotlight.
Metal Hammer: "Recommended for fans of F4AF, Glassjaw and Lostprophets"
Big Cheese: "Powerful vocals take the songs to the next level with complicated riffs finishing them off"
Rock Sound: "..Memorably full of intricate melodies and F4AF style tempo shifts - they'll be huge."

This is part of my website The FG that I set up in a fury of enthusiasm when we first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. The site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places and things, and I know it was a useful reference for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am 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 paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
