- 1980 Ozzy Osbourne @ Marlowe Theatre (Tue 21 Oct 1980) [leave a comment]
- Ozzy Osbourne 1980I saw Ozzy Osbourne in 1980 at Canterbury Odeon - now the Marlowe.Had the privilege of being right at front and having Ozzy sweat on me whilst shaking his head about. Some of us went into the County hotel afterwards and all 4 of the band were in the bar and got all autographs. Lee kerslake and Bob Daisley took the time to talk to us which was great as we were a bunch of sweaty 16 year olds who I guess they could have done without tracking them down to their hotel. Great memory! - podge
- 1980 The Comsat Angels @ Canterbury University (Tue 25 Nov 1980)

[leave a comment] - 2008 Stereophonics @ Leas Cliff Hall (Tue 8 Jul 2008)
Lawks, is it some sort of warm up? I don't like them but it's a big deal for Folkestone I suppose. Get in! Getting tickets just in case the support is good. Ooh, SOLD OUT already!
[leave a comment]- Stereophonics at the Leas Cliff Hall on sale now!Well, in five minutes... 8th July, looks like it might be a warm up type thing, they don't have a big tour on the go. get tickets here, this will sell out fast! See you on ebay... -
- Psst, wanna buy some Stereophonics tickets?8th July, looks like it might be a warm up type thing, they don't have a big tour on the go. Get tickets here, this will sell out fast! See you on ebay... Man I hate the Stereophonics, what am I talking about? And I was one minute too late for the Folkestone Gerald mailout, so I've missed some commission there. If you are reading this in the future and you really want these tickets that I have, make me a good offer for them, or have a look on ebay. Don't go to many gigs these days, and whe -
- Who will buy my Stereophonics ticketsSlight repost from Folkestone Gerald and my blog / forum there: I can't decide whether or not to go to Stereophonics next Tuesday, we have messed up a bit in arranging a lie in the following morning so it's not really convenient now. Do you want my stereophonics tickets? Make me an offer. I half thought I'd put these tickets on ebay, but as with the last time I thought this I couldn't be bothered. And now it looks like we might really have to go! Clare is not working from home the next day -
