A large crowd gathered at Ellington Park last night (August 27) for the first event of the Ramsgate Festival of Sound.
The Let’s Go Outside cabaret from Screaming Alley featured the songs of the former Wham! and then solo star George Michael.

The newly restored bandstand hosted acts Pink Suits, Sophie Cameron, Charlie Partridge, Lunatraktors, Blanche Dubois and THEY DON’T CARE. Host will be the “compere without compere” Dusty Limits.
The festival runs until September 5 with a host of events and gigs around Ramsgate.
Bonkers.
Schools just about to go back, and covid on the rise in Thanet.
It was an absolutely great night. It’s so nice seeing the park back to full use and people of all ages having a good time. Well done Screaming Alley,FoEP and RTC.
Yes the bandstand looks amazing. Kids playing in the park and families out in the open having fun times. Our toddler loved the DJ but we had to go so didn’t see the whole show. Great time had by all it seems.
Did you take a lateral flow test before or after the event, or both?
Or are you just hoping you haven’t contracted covid, or given it to someone else?
Good to see people of all ages enjoying themselves in the wide open air – that is the best and most effective health tonic of all. Negativity does quite the opposite.
Health tonics are not quite up to preventing the spread of coronavirus.
You are definitely a Phyllis!
Those seats look pretty sussy
