+ Quiklik. Someone has memories of them playing at The Flamenco but I've seen a poster says it was the LCH.

- Good work Trish, here's your picture of the Pretty ThingsI hosted it on flickr.com: Do you have a confirmed date for this gig yet? I bet you wrote it in your diary, or maybe it's on the back of the photo? Was it 1967? -
- The Pretty Things in FolkestoneSome pictures I've just been sent, of The Pretty Things when they played at Micks' Flamenco Bar (now better known as Pipers) in 1967: That last photo was taken outside George Robey's the tobacconist a couple of doors down from the club. The next two were taken inside the club. I am not sure about the year, but probably 66 or 67. If I could find out when Skip took over as drummer from Viv Prince, it might help. That's from the supplier of the photos, answers.com says His increasing unre -

- 1976 AC/DC @ Leas Cliff Hall (Sat 11 Sep 1976)
Looks like it was cancelled...
[leave a comment]- AC/DC 1976I saw AC/DC in 1976 and AC/DC didnt play. I travelled down from Gravesend. I believe that the gig was cancelled by the council who didnt agree with Angus dropping his shorts!!! The replacement act was The Real Thing (and they weren't) - Rob
- 1976 The Real Thing @ Leas Cliff Hall (Sat 11 Sep 1976)
Last minute replacement for AC/DC, who the council disagreed with. Hardly seems a fair swap!

[leave a comment] - 2008 Mighty Boosh festival @ The Hop Farm (Sat 5 Jul 2008)
Ah, it wasn't made up Neil Young is playing in Kent too... at the Hop Farm, the same location as the supposed Mighty Boosh Festival.
[leave a comment] - 2008 Mighty Boosh Festival @ The Hop Farm (Sat 5 Jul 2008)
Bit of a weak lineup actually :-( The day before Neil Young, could be a mighty weekend. Check ebay...
[leave a comment]- Neil Young and The Mighty BooshIt's all kicking off at the Hop Farm this year isn't it? Neil Young is there on the 6th, and according to the NME, there's a Mighty Boosh festival the same weekend. No tickets on sale for that yet I don't think, so could all be a lie, keep an eye on ebay maybe for Booshstock (Glastonboosh?), but get Neil Young tickets here... -
- Speaking of journeys through time and space...The Mighty Boosh festival lineup is out, as seen on posters at Folkestone station, though I'm sure I could have been quicker off the mark than that. It's a bit ropey actually. The 'Boosh themselves headline I think, with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, White Denim, The Kills, Peaches (DJing only), and Polar Bear. I've no idea of the format actually, so i'm not sure what part Noel Fielding, Julian Barrett et all will play. There is a full comedy lineup too featuring Ross Noble, Frankie Boyle, Flig -
