Great and "great" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about great. If you have something to contribute concerning great that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have something to contribute concerning local pubbing or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.
This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubbing or other places it will only return great pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more broader search please try great on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...
New Cross Venue
the black griffin
Suede Last gig ever! Played some great sets, the gig seemingly got chopped short, we left to the ghostly strains of "We'll Meet Again"... I hope we do. Astoria
The Tears plus The Subways. First official gig for Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler's new band, though they went and did a couple of sneaky warmups before this in Oxford and somewhere else. Not that great really. Heaven
Turbonegro Whole lot of sailor hats in the audience, great gig! Mean Fiddler
Brian Wilson Yes of the Beach Boys, one to tick off the list. He was a bit unsteady on his feet but he had great support in recreating the perfect sound. Royal Festival Hall
David Bowie Plus Suede and Divine Comedy. It booted it down with rain, but we had a great time. Old Trafford Cricket Ground [Wednesday 10 July 2002]
Supergrass plus The Bluetones, a great gig, at a great time. The Joiners
Thurman Britpop, I thought they were the greatest at the time but it's not all aged well The Joiners
Longpigs See that, SIX in a row, Mansun, Perfume, Thurman, Fluffy, Gouge, Longpigs. At the time I thought what a GREAT time this is for music. The Joiners
David Devant and his Spirit Wife A great gig, just round the corner from where I was living. Cheap booze and accompanying art exhibition. Goldsmiths College
David Devant and his Spirit Wife Great band, not a good gig Islington Academy

Morrissey Meltdown For me, this is a privilege and I will rise to it. Curating Meltdown is a great opportunity for me to acknowledge some of the music and words that have excited me over the years. Some of you have Ipods, I have Meltdown. [Wednesday 3 March 2004]
