This is a free festival in Maidstone in a couple of weeks, you can register for tickets today, but please don't, it will decrease my chance of getting any:
Saturday 10 May Main Stage
Madonna, The Fratellis, Usher, Scouting For Girls, Duffy, The Feeling, Robyn, The Hoosiers
Sunday 11 May Main Stage
The Kooks, The Enemy, Nelly, Goldfrapp, The Pigeon Detectives, Newton Faulkner, OneRepublic, Adele
Not my dream lineupk, not a great lineup, but an undoubtedly big lineup, particularly at the top of Saturday there. I guess it'll be a very short PA type set rather than the full gig experience. Also guessing (as she's still snoozing on the train to work as I write this) that as we can only go to one day (if we are in the lucky 1% who win tickets) she'd like to see Madonna.
My first pop concert was Madonna, over twenty years ago...

It's not me, I am not the manky badger, but I found this blog talking about a trip to Folkestone, and how Folkestone had changed...
We lived in Folkestone from September 1984 to April 1986, so I consider myself something of an expert on all things Folkestonian. It has to be said that the place has changed somewhat in the intervening twenty one years. The wonderful aquarium shops are gone, as is “Eureka” – the place which sold absolutely everything really cheaply. HMV is no longer in the basement of Debenhams, and WH Smith’s has lost its top floor. The Rotunda and the scenic railway are gone. In fact there’s not a lot left apart from Chambers bar and the ice cream shop.
So we had an HMV before did we? I've only been living here 3 or 4 years and visiting for a few more before that... Chambers hasn't really been around that long either, it was called the Sub Club about ten years ago. Still nice to get a few more hints of recent Folkestone history...
