ABOUT US . . .

We're officially a 'CIC" - Community Interest Company (Folkestone Fringe Festival CIC) which was born out of a 'collective' made up of musicians, an event producer, an ex-lawyer, a couple of artists, some photographers a fashion model, a couple of gallery owners and a model agency owner, a fashion stylist and an insurance expert . . . we're passionate about what we do, anal about doing it properly and quite a mixed up bunch of  souls (think about the sort of conversations we end up having) that have found themselves living in the centre of the Universe that is Folkestone. We're quite good fun to go out for a drink with too, even if we do say so ourselves.

Our core directors are Folestone residents, Andy Shorten, Trevor Moss, John Sims and Joe Grey who came together on a project born out of John's distinctive designs produced for 2 Tone Records when he worked with Jerry Dammers. In the last year John's 2"This ARt 2Tone" exhibitions have travelled as far a field as London, Margate, Coventry, Brighton and New York.  Fast forward about a year from that and the four of us launched Folkestone Skabour Festival - a unique weekend of free music and family entertainment involving everyone from The Beat to the pupils from St. Eanswythes Primary school on Folkestone.

Our aim is to create organise and promote great festivals in folkestone which are commercially successful for individuals and businesses alike and add value to all that become involved in them, at each and every level.
