Black Flag played in Folkestone in 1984, I was talking with a friend about it at the weekend. Before both of our times, but we're both interested in the musical history of the area. I heard that Husker Du also played, supporting, at this gig. But no, with a bit more research it seems they were thrown off the UK and Europe tour. After it was advertised, but before it happened. Some more detail of the dates on the gig page.

See they're still on this ad for the Marquee, but that never happened either. Black Flag played, Husker Du did not.

I might buy some old music papers on the ebay to get some more proof scanned in.

From my own gig history looks like I was at Supergrass this day in 1999.

Supposedly a bit cooler today but heating did not come on. Don't think I have time for a walk before work today, but checking around the place before the cleaner comes. No-one can get in T2's room, it can't be cleaned. It is more like an animal's nest at the moment.

Light rain showers and a fresh breeze, 5 - 14℃.
