Radiohead did play the Penny Theatre in Jan 1993, I promoted it, it was the last ever Expos night. It was their first ever sell out gig outside of London or Oxford and was rammed to the rafters (we had over 300 people in there). They covered Rhinestone Cowboy as an encore, which I believe they used to do early on but hadnt done for years (and as far as I am aware) havent done since. I have a tape of the gig recorded from the mixing desk.
Bands who also played the Penny included The Cranberries, Jamiroquai, Skunk Anansie, Supergrass, Bluetones, Ash, Dodgy. We narrowly missed out on Elastica, Oasis and Belly either through short sightedness or bad luck.

This is my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places + things, + I hear it was a useful resource for others who were moving here. Now Iʼve moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesnʼt get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE arenʼt they? Do contact me if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
