Great blog post here1 by @rhysdgriffiths gives all the facts about who's opening and who's not opening where in the creative quarter. I was suspicious of the Max's House people, their web stuff seemed to be all over the place. Seems they were planning to open in the old Earl Grey but are not right now, maybe in the future though. Some good details on other things that should, hopefully, one day, happen in Folkestone too
This is my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite places and things, + I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) 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 paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper 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 Twitter.
