    2. When I used to go there in the 70's the bands used to play downstairs. If you go into Churchill's at the entrance facing the sea, there would have been a doorway to the right and at the bottom of the stairs ... DJ in a booth, to the left, bar straight ahead and stage far left. Lots of great memories there, usually watching a band called 'Gizmo'!

    3. 1.36 I think you will find Juicy Lucy are playing there from now 5.30 this evening and since they were formed in 1969, things may have not changed as significantly as one would expect.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
