Particularly if you have anything 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 the brit pubs / 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 brit on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...
The True Briton
the british lion
Glastonbury 1994 My first Glastonbury festival, went in my van, hard to fault the lineup on the NME stage... Blur, Pulp, Oasis, Beastie Boys, Bjork, Manics, etc. Britpop-tastic. Glastonbury
And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead plus Clinic, The Faint and British Sea Power. NME Brats? Astoria
Menswear A radio one show, was billed as Longpigs and Fluffy and Menswear were surprise headliners. The glory days of britpop! They got in big trouble for swearing live on the radio. Think I have the day right, let me know if you know better... Camden Underworld
Glastonbury 1995 The year Pulp replaced The Stone Roses as headliners, along with Oasis and The Cure. Great weather. Peak of the britpop years. Glastonbury
