Folkestone gig history

Been doing some gig history updates, I found some Prodigy, Gary Numan, and Leatherface gigs, and then found this on a myspace page:

In [year]1993[/year] Bonbooshe disbanded and I joined Glasshouse with Geoff and Ian Davies and spent 3 years with them recording, gigging and also supporting Gary Numan again on his [year]1996[/year] "Premier Hits" tour at the London Astoria. We only had 18 hours notice for this gig as we replaced the infamous Sheep On Drugs who had been pulled off the tour due to an incident the previous night at Folkestone.

What was the mysterious "incident" and where was the gig? I saw Sheep On Drugs around then, but in Portsmouth. Loved the record, but they were shit live, think they had problems with sound limiters and stuff. It's all gone in the Folkestone gig history section...
