March 2009 :
The Kentish Gazzette have come back to me re my graph of the music falling off.
One of their questions was "What is the state of music in Canterbury ?"
So I have done a quick trawl through those of the pubs that I know have had music in the past, plus a few that I have been pointed to - if I have missed your favourite pub, or you know bettter, please do email me : Beau_at_KentFolk_dot_com , but this seems to be the state of play as of mid March 2009 :
- Beer Cart Arms :
Music every Thursday
- Bell & Crown :
1st & 3rd Wednesday : Acoustic music
- Blind Dog :
Just re-opening but no plans to do music due to the cost of the licence.
- Carpenter's Arms :
Music once a week, also
3rd Friday of Month: Open Mike
- Caseys - have moved their music days :

May 2009 :
- News from Dave Ferra - he has a gig in The Parrot (was Simple Simons) on the 7the May, so they have changed their mind 5 times now by my count, about having music. Keep fingers crossed that the music keeps happening.
