Dover Rd Folkestone ( knocked down now )
Contrary to popular belief, Hendrix never played Tofts, he did however play the Hillside Social Club, Dover Rd.
December 31st 1966 - Jimi played in Folkestone at the Hillside Club, which was one building further up Dover Rd than the Empress Ballroom .
Stan had agreed to pay them £50 for the night. A good fee for Folkestone at the time though he thought it was a risk to book an unknown band for such an important night of the year as he only knew Noel.
People in the audience included; Dave Shacke, Dave Ewer, Roy Pratt, Rod Jones, Mick Wilkins, Dusty Miller, Trevor Wright and many others but if we believed everybody who said they were there there would have been a queue to Sandgate.
The Experience also rehearsed at the Hilside Club on the following day 1st Jan 1967
Picture Above: Thanks to Alan Taylor - Next building down the road was the Empress Ballroom under the Pfizer's Club.
