The Ramones in Canterbury

Feb22006

Canterbury Odeon music venue music gig history ramones canterbury judge dredd canterbury odeon penny theatre

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...

Found another connection between The Ramones and Canterbury

Canterbury Odeon music venue the ramones canterbury thomas cranmer archbishop of canterbury canterbury odeon

On the same day, March 30th (though maybe a few years apart), Thomas Cranmer became archbishop of Canterbury, and The Ramones played their first ever gig.

Still not found when they played Canterbury Odeon.

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
