  Great news - and a brilliant coup, as seen in today's Mercury:

  Thought the Dover Express might have picked up on this. Ho hum. Perhaps it was their day off.
  
  Cheers all,

  Perhaps they can rush forward the big screen in the Market Square and broadcast Joss' homecoming gigs on it.

  Great idea Andrew for those people not lucky enough to get a ticket.I suppose most of the council will be there in their finery claiming yet another scoop for their endevours whilst quickly palming the complimentary tickets and hogging the photo calls.

  Actually I don't like to boast Marek but I had this idea a few years ago,then after that I wanted Kylie here,but I wanted to be back stage for that.The reason why I wanted to do it is because I know a friend of hers and suggested it to him,but he informs me he had nothing to do with it.
  If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

  I spoke about this with Kylie over breakfast this morning.
  There may be a gig with Fat Boy Slim on the beach later this year.
  
  Watch this space.
  
  Iv'e got more chance of seeing the pope in weatherspoons than seeing Ms Stone.

  Well there is a story about that Ian I will have to tell you the next time I see you, but the Pope really enjoys a jug of slippery nipple in Weatherspoons on a Saturday afternoon, before he has to fly off back to Rome

  The Daily Mail were not so complementary:

  How typical of the Daily Mail to turn a story around and make Joss seem unpopular. They don't mention at all that it is in her hometown and for her relatives and friends etc. (and sold out )

  Joss Stone must have offended someone at The Mail...they usually do a nasty piece on people when they fail to conform.

  I heard an interview with Joss on the radio at the weekend and she sounded like she has a lot of interest in Dover. Did you know she used to live at 9, Albert Road? She has family still living here and of course she was born at Buckland hospital which we all knew. I think it was her gran who used to own a guesthouse in Buckland Avenue too. She said she loves Dover as it holds a lot of early memories for her. Welcome home Joss
