I think there were two different venues known as Tofts

I keep getting conflicting reports though... there was one that I think is where the police station is now, on Bouverie Road West, and then it moved to Grace Hill...

Tofts did move

from Bouverie Road West to Grace Hill I believe, though it may also have changed it's name when it moved to Grace Hill. Equally importantly though, I might have got that venue wrong, any idea of the name of the venue in Tontine Street? This is all b...

Tofts

I used to play regularly at Tofts in The Poor Boys Soul Band in the late 60's and remember Harold and Doris Toft who owned the club. Great times.

RE: Good to have that info

I am sorry, maybe it was 1970. As a pupil I came to Folkestone several times and it`s obvious that I mixed it up (is that correct English?). On another leaflet of TOFT'S I found some more bands and infosSaturday, 11th JulyBORIS(Presentation is like a...

Jimi Hendrix 1966

I saw Jimi Hendrix in 1966 and What a night it was. I was a 14 year old aspiring drummer and was involved in the promoting of the gig by way of flying in the afternoon as the gig was hastily arranged on the day. The gear duly turned up and I had the ...

RE: Tofts did move

I do know that Tofts still was on Grace Hill in 1973 under this name. I was on an English course in Folkestone that year and never came back later. Toft's was one of our favourite haunts, although we mostly stuck to the girls from our English course,...

Fleetwood Mac & Tofts?

I found a good Fleetwood Mac site with Leas Cliff Hall listed in 1968, but nothing in 1967 for example... Are these right or wrong? When would it have been then?See my Folkestone gig history for 1967 and Folkestone gig history for 1968....

RE: Toft`s / gigs in 1969

I used to go to Tofts regularly during the 60s (when it was at Grace Hill). Used to be one of my favourite venues. (The other being the Epress Ballroom, a bit further down the hill on the other side)Can't remember dates, but I saw Long John Baldry th...

RE: Tofts did move

The club was called Toffs after Harald Toff the owner later it was bought by people from Ashfords who renamed it Tofts (no conection)

So people say Cream never played at Toft's...

What's this all about then?Thanks to Simon Brint for this ticket scan...People say it wasn't Tofts, it was Mick's Flamenco Club (more recently Pipers), so did Toft's move more than once? Or did Tofts move the gig? Or did they promote the gig at anoth...

Thanks for that brilliantly detailed reminiscence

Don't suppose you have any dates for any of the other shows? I remember seeing at TOFTS: Fleetwood Mac; Stray; Deep Purple [I'm fairly sure?]; Skid Row, and many more. Whilst, at the Leas, we saw: Atomic Rooster; Judas Priest; Curved Air; Uriah Heep;...

Tofts

I remember the good old days of Tofts. I used to walk up the stairs, past John Brunt who was the bouncer, to see Doris and Harold Toft, her standing behind the drinks bar and him standing in front welcoming people into the club. Lovely to read that H...

Tofts

puJust like to add my memories of Tofts. Went there throughout the flower power era with the ultra-violet lights and the incense sticks which filled the air. It was open all summer with local groups but of course the big acts we all remember most suc...

Remember there were two venues that people think of as Tofts

That could explain the varying estimates of capacity. Personally I think it was probably a place that only existed on another plane, based on some of the comments I've seen here...Thanks for your contribution though, any specific dates or flyers or p...

I got the venue details from Marmalade Skies

Marmalade Skies 1967. Sounds like you saw some great stuff, do you have actual dates or anything?

Looking for an old friend

Looking for an old girl friend Linda Mynard known as Mini Mynard. She used to go to Tofts a lot and lived across the road. She had brothers one called Rodney.

Thanks

Tick #4030 were there really 4000+ people there???

Not Tontine Street, so was it Grace Hill then?

Harry not sleeping

He's fine at night, but right at this minute, when he's meant to be mid nap I can hear him singing and shouting. My fault, we went out this morning, and on the way home I did not notice he'd fallen asleep in the car. As soon as I did I tried to wake ...
