  Folkestone, Folkestone
  There's so much a-going on in Folkestone
  If you've never visited the town before
  they've got what all the others have, and so much more
  
  Reading, staging
  they are very big on knowledge-sharing
  They have their finger on the pulse, tres à la mode
  [As evidenced by the goings on in the Folkestone Road]
  
  Folkestone, Folkestone
  hardly ever overshadowed, that's Folkestone
  The town is renowned the whole world over
  especially with those that've never ever heard of Dover...
  
  [Its wrong of me, I know, but who can resist temptation?]
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  "This is the darkest time of year, nights are long and days short. Here is a festival to bring you light and warmth, words and fun, ideas and stories. We hope to throw some light on our history from merchant adventurers to suffragettes, castle builders to nuclear physicists, to help understand and offer a forum to discuss the ailing NHS, war on terror and what future for today young people. Bring the kids for great storytelling or to enjoy a magic lantern show. Meet the mountaineer who climbed Everest, the doctor who pushes the boundaries, the flautist who travels the world and the artist who conceived Folkestone's mermaid. Enjoy a Shakespeare play, discuss a great novel, try a writing workshop, test your literary knowledge and much more."
