LP vinyl recording of a 1986 album by The Maroondogs, a band who played regularly at the Leas Club in the 1990s. The album cover has been autographed by the three band members (Robert Coltart, Kevin Bowyer, Ian Cheswright). The LP was donated to the Archive by David Miller who said: ‘I used to live in Folkestone until I moved to the Peak District in the 1990’s. I knew Bob, Ian and Kevin very well and we worked together often. The LP was a gift to me from the band when I left Folkestone and it seems very fitting that it should return.’
