Sunday April 18th - The Lucky Ones play No. 11
With spring unfolding, and summer awaiting us, what better time to appreciate good music!
On the 18th April we are hosting a gig at No.11 starring The Lucky Ones. This band describe themselves as a stylish mix of music, cabaret and comedy, covering such classics as Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, The Eagles, Al Green, The Cure, Ella Fitzgerald, some favourite TV themes and movie moments and you'll start getting the idea, stripping the song down to ukulele, melodica, rich acoustic guitar and 1950's cocktail drums.

This is my website The FG 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 but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for best venues + things, and I hear it was a useful resource for those who were moving to the area. 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 The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend 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 contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
