FOLKESTONE FIRST TIMERS
IS 1 YEAR OLD
Wow it is simply astonishing to think that we are only 1 year old. We have made so many fabulous new friends, watched First Timers blossom from being nervous under graduates to performing LIVE in front of other musicians or audiences.
You have been amazing First Timers for the community you have created and of course it is about more than music.
To celebrate we are holding a birthday party open to all. We are still planning the fun & games but mostly it will be about coming together and having a glorious knees up.
Our Original Launch Party
We held our launch party at the Folkestone Bookshop and had no idea if anyone would turn up but we didn’t count on Folkestone’s enthusiastic citizens.
