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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Ugly neighbour of from One Foot in the Grave

Sunday night watching the Delgados - the small, dark haired, ugly neighbour of Victor Meldrew and husband to Angus Deyton was in the crowd with husband for about two songs before leaving.
How rude!

James Dean Bradfield

Obviously lots of famous type people were about there, particularly in the backstage bar, but James is worth a mention as he wasn't performing there. This was quite late on the Friday, but I did not hallucinate him. He was stood by the toilets....

The Datsuns

OK, they were playing, but this is worth a mention because they did an extra set just for Radio One... They opened up the festival by playing a set in the hospitality bar that was partly broadcast on the Jo Whiley show, NICE!Also they were loitering ...

Jesse Malin

met Jesse Malin while he was helping to pack up his equipment. He's very approachable and even asked people for suggestions about where to drink in Dublin after the set! Also said he's got a new album out in 'The Fall', ie. autumn.

Euros Childs

He was in the bar yesterday, during Stephen Malkmus' set, and so were we...

Stuart Pearce

Psycho was stood behind us watching the Manics on Friday. He's shorter in real life, and younger looking too - but just as imposing.

Milling around the press area. He was supposed to go on stage with The Frames to sing 'Debaser'. But lest to say it didn't happen!
