Hi, thought I would let you know we are now opening on Sunday evenings for drinks, bar snacks and live music. Hope you can make it!
Sunday Sessions kick off on 18th October with Dulcie May Moreno - People's Music Awards nominee - Best female.
Stripped to the bone sultry and soulful, Dulcie May is perfect for lounging on hazy Sunday afternoons with a jazz woodbine over the Sunday papers. Ignoring the lessons learned after Charles Manson she claims to have hippy friends and comes from Guildford, though she more than makes up for this with her breathy organic and sultry tones. She takes her musical cues from Nina Simone, John Martyn and Tracy Chapman with the aim of reaching deep into the river of your soul.
We will be open for drinks and traditional bar snacks inspired by our new Autumn menu from 6pm-11pm.
For more details or to book a table call 01303 259 535 or email info@numberelevenfolkestone.co.uk.
This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here sometime in 2004. I'd 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, and I hear it was a handy resource for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from the name of a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye 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 something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
