They've launched the brilliantly named DEFAMER

Here's a report on it

Gawker's home page

Fawkenham

Sounds like very North Kent to me, but I don't know. Heard from a journo that it was confirmed to stop at Folkestone, Gashford, Northfleet and London King's Cross. This tai chi site lumps Fawkenham in with Northfleet, don't know what to make of all t...

Samantha Fox

20th of OCT. She was wearing hotpants and said I had Robert De Niro's eyes. 'Pity I'm gay', I thought wistfully (not!)

Justin Hawkins

Saw him in a bakery in Colchester on Saturday - I overheard him asking someone if he could use the ladies' toilet and he looked a bit upset when they refused - to be honest, I think he's a bit strange.

Steve Hawkins

He was just walking by and mate who lives in Edinburgh said i should ask him for his autograph

Ethan Hawke

He was at the Frank Black gig last night (15/11/00).

Dan Hawkins & Richie Edwards

just saw them in Prezzo which is a bar just off ken high st.

Dan looked very sexy and Richie looked sweet and smiley. Richie was wearing sunglasses though and there was really no need.

Hold your glans child, and squawk like a pheasant

I've got the new Belle and Sebastian album, and you haven't... Further reports later, but just knowing that there is new material available soon is sure to start a trading FRENZY...

Ethan Hawke My Arse...

Last night was a FRANK BLACK EXTRAVAGANZA at Camden Underworld - not for us the heady delights of a full on Pixies Reunion, or even the rumoured appearance of Pixies guitarist Joey SanDytoksvig, it was an acoustic, show, just Frank and his guitar.He ...

Surely this is bad planning?

From the popEx gig guide:Gong @ The Scala, London (Thu 20 Dec)Hawkwind @ The Forum, London (Thu 20 Dec)What's a stinky old rocker to do?...

so it wasn't all big name indie bands playing the Metronome every night as I've been led to believe... here's a fascinating republication of gig listings from 1981, from the good people at kentgigs.com. Don't forget my Folkestone gig guide though.We ...

Hawkinge Farmers market

A writeup in The Times, look out, not all the produce on sale is local...

Justin, NO!

Not only did my spy at the Eurovision launch today inform me that Justin Hawkins is competing to be the UK entry, but now I've been sent a fairly cheesy pop duet that he's done. It's with Beverley someone, that's all I know so far, more news on furth...

Making your votes up

Cheers Stu for pointing out Justin has blogged about the Eurovision thing on his myspace. Are people still doing myspace then? I must admit my facebook network hasn't really bloomed like it might have done, that's what only adding people you really k...

I ain't afraid of no ghosts

Strange email of the day:My name is **** and I am very interested to hear that you have had strange experiences at the Mayfly. I am part of a Paranormal Investigation team called �Beyond The Mist� and am enquiring if you would allow us to do an Inves...

York (being the fourth part of my holiday)

York is great, a lot like Canterbury, but seemingly with more pubs. Our hotel was the birth place of Guy Fawkes, and had sloping floors and four poster beds, proper historic. It practically butts up to the cathedral, not sure you can tell from my pho...

Lawks a Lordy, that's a lot of money...

Hot Leg tonight

Hot Leg tonight at Proud Galleries, Camden, That London. Bit concerned about it really, got to leg it out of work at a pretty busy time for us, lots on at the moment. Leaving a little early anyway, train to London, hurriedly catch up with friends tha...

Hot Leg Review - first Hot Leg Review EVER?

Was as we expected, maybe hotter, certainly smellier than I would have liked. We spent the evening secretly wishing they would play some songs that we knew - not necessarily Darkness songs, but maybe some cheeky covers, tipping their hat to their ref...

Got a sword and a beard? Want to be in Justin Hawkins' new video?

I wouldn't have thought people needed much encouragement to take a weapon along to a Justin Hawkins performance really. Not sure I can make this, but would you like to be in the ex The Darkness frontman's new video?I have been asked to supply big bea...

RE: Got an email about the School of Art

Folkestone School of Art was a fine place to be. I was there from 69-71, when it finally closed down. Gerald Norden a technically very gifted painter was the Principal. Died 2002 I think and was a friend of the late John Ward. David Koster who I beli...
