At long long last we got to see The Darkness, live at Lees Cliffe Hall Folkstone after the gig was postponed from last year. Vic Reeves turned up plus entorage and I have never seen the hall so packed. The Darkness were brilliant, loud but clear - I felt my clothes get buffeted by the sound - awesome. In the encore Justin was carried by a roadie through the crowd while he played. I have never seen anything like it - and got some pictures as he came within about 4 foot of us - picture attached.

The support act were rappers from Newport. We stayed in the bar for that bit.
