Folkestone gig history

FG ≫ 2007 ≫ 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 1993 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 1996 "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](/gig/1992/), but in [Portsmouth](/wiki/#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](http://www.folkestonegerald.com/history/) section...

This is my website The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for best venues and things, + 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 knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend paper 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 GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
