This is my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a frenzy of excitement when we first moved here sometime in '04. I had been a regular visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. This site was a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a useful resource for those who were 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 always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name 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 something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
