Fact #100103

When:

Short story:

The Rolling Stones' fourth UK tour continues at Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone, supported by Peter And Gordon, The Overlanders, The Barron Knights, David John And The Mood, Julie Grant and Tony Marsh.

Full article:

Nicky Wright (photographer) : We were coming back from Folkestone one night about nine o'clock, some time in 1963, and had stopped to look for something to eat. We found a fish shop, but it was closed. We banged on the door and this chap came to the door and told us, 'We've switched everything off, the fat's cooled down, we're closed.' No one argued until I shouted, 'This is The Rolling Stones!' This little husband and wife were really sweet and said, 'Come in and sit down while we see what we can do'.


So everybody's ordered their fish and chips, steak and chips, and it takes quite a long time while they heat up the fat or whatever. Finally they bring it to the table. Keith's happily eating away, so are the others, the Brian tries a forkful, and starts complaining, 'I don't like this! It's soggy! I can't eat this!' He stands up, takes this bottle, and squirts ketchup over the table and knocks his food onto the floor. It was heartbreaking - there's this couple thinking, Great, it's The Rolling Stones, then this happens.
