Hmm, The Royal Bengal's menu advertises http://www.theroyalbengal.com but it's going nowhere at teh time of writing... http://www.barlorca.com doesn't work in this browser and didn't come up when I searched for them on the web... in MSIE it works and...

Lifeslide

Just seen my Lifeslide, great idea, but it says nothing to me about my life... well not much. Saw The Koreans last night at the Barfly, sound a bit like the Cardigans and a bit like Supergrass. Steve Lamacq was there, not sure if this is a promising...

Stokefest

That website is all about looking for sponsorship, there's not a lot out there for punters in terms of lineups etc... Hank Wangford played at the Vortex on Friday, didn't know about it until we went there for breakfast yesterday though... Well recomm...

Reading Festival

I think this is my first non Reading Festival bank holiday weekend in ten years, poor Cinderella left at work. Got only 3.5 days holiday left to last all year, might have a weekend in France next month, and might need some to pad around Christmas... ...

Shepway Festival and Air Show

The air show was fantastic, I've not seen a Harrier Jumpjet before, it was spooky to see it stop dead in the air, fly backwards, turn around and do a little bow to the audience. Also saw Utterly Butterly wing walkers, a Tornado, Spitfires (not just t...

Glastonbury Festival Tickets

Available now - great seatsWell that's what I've just been offered by a new Google ad... also it's a bit odd that Carling seem to have bought up a load of ads that appear when the Barfly is mentioned, linking to http://www.carlinglive.com...

Folkestone's finest boozatorium, The Chambers is holding an "Easter Ales Festival" over the Easter weekend (Thursday 8th - Sunday 11th April). They're planning to offer eight guest real ales, four guest ciders, and live jazz and blues every evening.T...

Folkestone beer festival

Beer festival was ACE!

Done nearly half of all the beers on sale.

Chambers Beer Festival

The Chambers "Easter Ales" Beer Festival was a raging success, from the first day to the last. It seems to have taken everyone concerned slightly by surprise, but according to the landlord it will be "at least" an annual event, so here's to the next ...

Remember grouphug.us, the confessional site?

Now they're turning it into a book.

Folkestone Literary Festival

it's on from the Monday 20th to Saturday 25th of September, so we'll miss it all, but you shouldn't. Various venues, various times, various prices, highlights seem to me to be Clarissa Dickson-Wright, John Hegley and William Hague... see folkestoneli...

Chambers Beer Festival

There's another beer festival at Chambers over the bank holiday weekend, ace! The last one in May was a roaring success, don't miss out. Plenty of cider on tap too, get your drinking trousers ready... live bands on each night including Sick Note Blue...

Folkestone, safest place in the country

Folkestone gets noticed by the national news again in this story about passive smoking... A non smoking journalist crawls some pubs and measures the levels of carbon monoxide in their bloodstream... "For some reason The Harvey's Wine Bar in Folkeston...

Terry Jones tonight

And working hard on a gift voucher system for work today, it's doing my swede in a bit, but I've just done my first successful transactions over the web, bought me a �500 gift voucher over the web, and used it to buy some stuff. Not real stuff, not a...

Chambers Easter Ales Festival

Chambers in assocation with The Ship Inn present their Easter Ales festival this weekend! And I'm going to miss it, DOH! It's on from Thursday 24th - Monday 28th March, and the runners and riders are as follows... Your four regular ales are Adnams So...

Glastonbury Festival hit by rain

"A few unlucky ones just arriving at the site this morning - some unprepared for the rain in flip-flops and shorts - faced the prospect of pitching their tents in the storm"... now what sort of fool would do that? I must put those old pictures online...

ooh, get professor latin!

I said I'm getting there, I've drawn the tables now too, just got to number them.

Beer festival

Is there one this weekend? Beer in the evening has nothing, and Chambers seems to be quite in with them at the moment, mentioning their URL (instead of the uber loyal folkestonegerald.com), so anyone know anything? Been working hard all week and stay...

V Festival tickets on sale now

That's Radiohead and Morrissey headlining, not going myself, but if you like those bands, then why not.Pretty sure they all went in about 10 minutes so I'd try ebay if I was you......

Keith Allen

Talking to everyone, he's a friendly feller.

Various Members

Watching The Moldy Peaches, looking cooler than everyone else, and making girls go weak at the knees!

Jason Dead

Being very enthusiastic while watching the amazing Lift To Experience and then running off somewhere at high speed before I could summon up the courage to go and speak to him.

Johnny Vegas

Spotted by my mate in a pub. Apparently he couldn't get served because he was so pissed!

Cain Dingle and Marlon from Emmerdale

Hanging around in the guest area wearing silly hats and talking about Emmerdale - same thing they do every year.

Keith Flint

He was MOBBED by squillions of camera and microphone weilding types, being newsworthy I suppose because he was there but not actually playing. He's much shorter up close, and also he has no hair right now. This was on the Saturday (26th August).

Donna Air, Davina McColl and Gail Porter

Saw them all Friday or Saturday, not really doing much, just being celebs. I think Donna Air was filming something. Have grouped them all together, as they're not really relevant to popEx. Though Donna Air was in a band called "Jellyhead" wasn't she?...

David Gedge and Sally Murrell

Everywhere I turned, they were there, Saturday 26th and Monday 28th August, various times, watching Angelica and Calexico amongst others.

Richard Hawley

Met Richard backstage at this festival where he was playing with Pulp. (Tuesday 25th July 2001)

Tim Burgess

He was having a burger, it was dripping everywhere. I seen him again later performing on stage

Professor Heinz Woolf

On more than one occasion the Heath Robinson of 1980s TV has been observed heading to and from Ealing Broadway railway station, presumably because his own egg powered travelling apparatus is currently being serviced. The Heinz Woolf fans amongst you...

Blur headlined, not a very strong lineup I don't think. I was working mostly, and managed to lose my first mobile phone that work lent me.

Phoenix Festival

I clearly remember David Devant and Holy Barbarians, David Bowie, Sex Pistols and Foo Fighters too I think, must have seen a lot more though...

Heineken Festival

Kirsty MacColl and Tom Robinson. Honestly, I went to some better gigs than this.
