The man
Home
The man and "the man" related stuff, including places, pubs, gigs and posts about the man. If you have something to contribute concerning the man that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have something 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 man 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 man on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and even international places...

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
Mansun Third gig, when they were still called Manson, and when they were still good. The Joiners
The Primitives Was the Town & Country still then, Pale Saints supported again, and Fatima Mansions too I think. Forum
Tripping Daisy I saw them in Manchester around this time too, maybe at the Night and Day? The Joiners
Mansun Was this the gig where they were still called Manson, and had at least one extra band member? The Joiners
The Dirty Pretty Things Carl Barat of The Libertines, and his new band, they're very good... Plus Hot Club de Paris and Mando Diao. Hey, we went to this one! Leas Cliff Hall
Reading My first gig with nme.com, I started work there that weekend. I left part way through the worst ever Stone Roses performance (OK, the only time I saw them). Reading Festival
