THE JANNA GOODWILLE BAND_
Janna Goodwilles songs, with their honest lyrics, blend of alternative acoustic jazz-influenced pop, and the soulful arrangements with which she delivers them, have captivated audiences in her home country of England, UK; in parts of NE Spain; and as far a field as Arizona, Nevadas Burning Man Festival, and Californias west coast music scene.
2008, 2009 & 2010 saw Janna Goodwille & Friends - James Hewins (double bass), Alex Foster (lead and rhythm guitar) and Jon Bongly (percussion), supported by Premgeet Andre (backing vocals & cello), Justin Jackson & Dr D. (percussion), Lydia Polzer (flute), Stewart George (sax), Geoff Sheridan (trumpet), Liz Jones (Violin), Fran Loze (cello) and Jack WhistlecrAFT (beat box) - playing over 80 gigs at Festivals across the UK (including a phenomenal 11 gigs in 4 days at the Edinburgh Fringe 08), around London town and delighting an increasing local fan base at Janna Goodwille & Friends' monthly residency at World of Music Revue Nights in Greenwich. Audiences have been enraptured by both the message and the music. One inspired music-lover at Secret Garden Party said Janna Goodwille & Friends was quite simply the best band Ive seen in a very long time.

DUNCAN DISORDERLY AND THE SCALLYWAGS
Along side being in a band called "laffin" he plays lead guitar for "keltrix", an alternative folk rock band, sings in "Chukin" a ska reggae band and performs as a "one man band" under the name "DuNcAn aN DisorDeRly."
Live, as "DuNcAn aN DisorDeRly," he uses an Rc-50 loop station and a kaos pad 3 together with a guitar, a melodica, beatboxing and vocals to create a rather unique sound. Combining the sounds of reggae, ska, hip hop, drum and bass, techno, gypsy and more.
This time his latest incarnation alongside some close friends is 'Duncan Disorderly and the Scallywags' incorporating all of the above with live musicians.

THE HIGH PRIEST
Are you ready to be entertained? Mr Motta, now known as 'The High Priest' began his music career in the stables of Some Bizarre, run by one in the last of maverick music managers, Stevo Pierce (Soft Cell). After the release of the critically acclaimed first album 'Picture That', Motta decided to leave the label and release his own works.
Twelve albums later of acoustic, hip hop and live albums, we now see Motta with a new backing band; 'The Brotherhood'. An electric 3 piece that has been noted as being reminiscent of Iconic figures such as Dylan, Eminem and Bill Hicks.
Rejected by the BBC, reviewed by every major media outlet in the country and releasing 2-3 albums per year, makes The High Priest one of the most interesting and different acts around

She has a truly amazing and captivating voice, which combined with her well crafted lyrics make for a mesmerizing performance. _

Basically The Bar Below is one of the most relaxing, well laid out places Ive ever come across. It is rapidly gaining renown as a truly unique venue having held some fantastic music events already such as 'Underground Sound' and 'The Loco Lounge', to name but a few. The acoustics are great and the staff friendly and helpful, theres even a STAIR CHAIR for those who find stairs difficult. It's also decked out with nice comfy sofas for those wishing to take the weight off their feet !
Please if you can, help by forwarding this email on to interested parties

Hope youre all well, see you there and please bring your friends.

This is part of my site The FG 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 + voting for favourite venues + things, and 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 now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. I am not Gerald by the way, this comes from a fake paper 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 contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
