The Ramones in Canterbury

The Ramones in Canterbury

Some gig history stuff from mrgig.com; DrGavin says

I've heard that The Ramones wrote I Wanna Be Sedated backstage at a venue in Canterbury (can't remember which one) and that Judge Dread literally died on stage at the Penny Theatre

and Bro concurs

The Ramones played the Canterbury Odeon. And Judge Dread died in hospital after collapsing on stage at the Penny

I love The Ramones, and didn't take my last good option to see them at Brixton Academy as I thought it would be a bit of a shit old punk affair. Ah well! Off to investigate these dates...

This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
