I am a local kent promoter and have been contacted by red list about what I do. I have been assured that the men responsible for the zoo festival are not involved in anyway. Now from what I gather, there is a whole team of people working down there who have done other festivals in the UK that have been a success so I can only see this as being a positive thing.
I think we as a town and as a county should support this and every event that happens in Kent. We really missout on a lot of amazing music, comedy and other entertainment and although those idiots that did that event in 2008 that is no way that we should give up on supporting anyone else that wants to provide events down here.
On another note, I guarantee you that before any event like this goes ahead, red list have to get a license. can you see shepway council giving that to the zoo8 boys. i strongly doubt it.

This is my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of enthusiasm when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues + things, and I know it was a handy reference for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a fake paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
