  • RE: Mayfield SuiteI remember seeing Gene Loves Jezebel at the Stour Centre in Ashford I think The Mayfield Suite was a room there, posssibly, the dates kind of fit. - Paul Hearn
  • RE: Mayfield Suite / Stour Centre / Gene Loves JezebelThat's brilliant, thanks, do you remember any more gigs from that period / area? -

• 2006 The Kooks @ Leas Cliff Hall (Sat 19 Aug 2006)

  Cheeky tiny warmup tour of seaside resorts, and they picked us! Sold out very fast indeed.

  • The Kooks are coming to FolkestoneYou might have seen their "Ready Steady Kook" poster up in Chambers recently, or heard them in the hit parade, well The Kooks are coming to visit. It's all part of a "seaside tour", taking in coastal towns of the UK. Date and more info as it comes in, I assume it'll be the Leas Cliff Hall. It's an odd one, looks like they've already sold out two nights at the Astoria... UPDATE: Dates of the seaside tour are: 18 Aug: Hastings, Pier Ballroom 19 Aug: Folkestone, Leas Cliff Hall 21 Aug: Skeg -
  • OH NO, The Kooks sold outI knew about it in plenty of time to get tickets, and I blew it! Kooks tickets are doing the business on ebay... Have a good time if you're going :-( -

• 2007 Summer Jam @ Chambers (Sat 18 Aug 2007) [leave a comment]
