Tofts Club, Folkestone

FG ≫ 2013 ≫ Tofts Club, Folkestone

Tofts club moved from its original location in the annexe of the old Pleasure Gardens theatre to its new home on Grace Hill at the end of May 1964. My band at that time, The Playboys, were invited to become the house band and we played there on opening night, Friday 29 May 1964.

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first moved here sometime in 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places and things, + I hear it was a useful reference for others who were moving here. 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 now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from the name of a fake paper 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 anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
