Just found this site 1 that has a whole load of new material for my Folkestone gig history... Including pictures of the Rolling Stones 2 when they played at the Odeon on Sandgate Road. Were you there?
I was inspired to search again for this as there are mentions of the gig in Go Folkestone's magazine that just came through the door...

This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came here in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places + things, + I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving to the area. 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. My name is not Gerald BTW, 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 great arenʼt they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
