Particularly if you have anything to contribute concerning local pubs or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.

This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubs or other places it will only return the band pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. It will hopefully return those anyway...If you are interested in a more general search please try the band on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and even international places...
