Don't call it #Zoo9!
Of course, why didn't I think of them when I was after animal named bands to headline this zoo festival? Apart from them being indie no marks I mean, who an old giffer like me would not have called a headliner.
We are very happy to announce The Wombats as our first headliner. The lovely Liverpudlians will be heading to Kent! With their recent huge success and having won "Best Dancefloor Filler" for their single Let's Dance To Joy Division1 at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008, we thought they would be the perfect act to be one of our main stage headliners.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, + I hear it was a useful reference for those 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 about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a fake newspaper 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 the twitter.
