Kathryn Williams is up for the Mercury Music Prize...
I KNOW there are lists of Mercury Nominees going around saying "Coldplay, Richard Ashcroft, blah blah, token folkie no-one's heard of"... That "token folkie" is Kathryn Williams, who has been a PopEx commodity for a while, and who I'm going to see at Dingwalls tomorrow night, doors at 7.30, though I expect it's sold out by now...
The other nominees, who I suppose are in with a chance, are: Richard Ashcroft, Badly Drawn Boy, Coldplay, MJ Cole, Death In Vegas, The Delgados, Doves, Helicopter Girl, Leftfield, Nicholas Maw, and Nitin Sawhney...
You will have spotted this is a heavy bias towards the beginning of the alphabet, did the judges lose the second half of the list or what? Where are Younger Younger 28s and Zodiac Mindwarp..?

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...
