This is my website The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just 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. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from the name of a fake paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
