Music history and "music history" related things, including places, pubs, gigs and posts about music history. If you have anything to offer concerning music history that is not mentioned here, please chip in. Particularly if you have anything to offer regarding local pubbing or other venues, home brew, beer, or cider. Thank you.

This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubs or other venues it will only return music history pubbing / venues 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 music history on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international venues...

As it turns out there are no pubbing / venues concerning music history anyway. Is there something I have missed? Please let me know!
