LEAS CLIFF HALL FOLKESTONE The Hairy Bikers: Larger Than Live SAT 16TH MARCH It’s now been over two years since we did our last stage tour, a complete sell-out and one of the best times of our lives. It’s for those reasons that we can’t wait to do it all over again; only this time it’s going to be bigger, bolder, funnier, and packed with more food and laughs than ever before. We like to do things a little differently to most, which is why we’re not just giving you a show, we’re giving you a real night out. There will be some cooking, a sprinkling of special guests* you all know and love, and a chance for some of our lucky audience members to enjoy a slap up meal on stage courtesy of the (Hairy) chefs. Last time round we told you our story, but this time, we’re taking you round the world. Starting with our northern roots, we’ll share our rip roaring tales of decadent do’s, big dinners and culinary catastrophes. There will be a bit of dancing, a bit of flirting, a bit of singing, and some downright hilarious stand-up comedy. Filled with plenty of surprises, expect the unexpected… and if you like us on the telly, you will love us Larger than Live.

Jethro FRI 22ND MARCH It’s laughter all the way. Cornwall’s ambassador of comedy will once again take you on a fun and wild journey, in only a way that he can! Be sure to hold onto your seats, hats and horses as you are entertained by one of the funniest storytellers to date. Contains adult material.

FOLK IN KENT That should be it for you, good folk of Kent. No more snow; slipping underfoot and no more paying Npower the equivalent of the GDP of a small Country every month or is that a (gas) pipe dream? Down here in deepest darkest Thanet, we have been treated to a great winter of music. Steve Tilston at Margate’s Tom Thumb Theatre got rave reviews, and glancing at their future line-up, Tom McConville – 1st March, Rob Johnson giving us all much needed advice on dealing with the political and social chaos – 5th April, Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin won’t fail to amaze on 3rd May. The pub music scene in Thanet is strong at the moment. The Wrotham Arms is a pillar of blues strength. The Tartar Frigate’s Wednesday Folk session is a mainstay of the music community. My own gigs in The Little Albion and The Red Lion, St Peter’s, have been very well attended. I believe the trick is getting a few established artists – Ben Paley, Brendan Power, Jed Grimes, in the mix with quality newbies – Galley Beggar, Brides of Rain, and Larkspur, resulting in a healthy audience. One of my favourites was a gentleman called The Little Unsaid. I have never seen such a full pub with so many jaws dropped. Please check him out in The Little Albion on 12th May and/or at Broadstairs Folk Week. Talking about Broadstairs Folk Week, I am already excited about the line-up. The opening night in the Pavilion is the talented, innovative Bubbleband, accompanied by Beggar’s Belief. Coco and the Butterfields will be performing at the Sunday fancy dress night. After seeing Duncan Disorderly and his Scalleywags at many larger festivals, I cannot wait to be bouncing and smiling for two hours during his set on the ‘late night’. Oh, and that’s on top of a few lesser known artists such as Capercaille, Larkin Poe and Dervish. Wow. My Spring will be finally sprung on the May Bank Holiday when I’ll be found running between the local pub gigs at the marvelous Rochester Sweeps Festival. Cheers Doug, I’ll need to get into practice before the summer festivals. Before I bore you all with further excitable ramblings, I will let you true Folkies into a hidden Kentish Secret. There exists a tiny festival called ‘The Pigs Ear Folk Ale’ in a picturesque pub garden tucked away in West Kent. This is my folk retreat and I would be lost without it. Thanks Sue and the team for this treasure. Happy Spring, people.
