The Gig Diary, March 2003 to August 2004
Seventeen months of nights at a three-floor Chatham pub, as its own website logged them: Billy Childish and the Buff Medways, the Len Price 3, Rachel Stamp and the weekly indie night warning: RoCkeTs.
Originally published 2003–2004
From the Tin archive. Between 2003 and 2006 this domain carried the website of the Tap ’n’ Tin, a three-floor music pub on Railway Street in Chatham. This page keeps one of its items as a historical record. The magazine that publishes the site today is independent and has no connection with the venue, its owners or promoters; contact details have been removed, and pictures lost from the old site have been replaced with credited photographs.

Listings as the venue published them, newest first. Each night is broken down by floor: bands in the ground-floor pool room, DJs on the middle floor and the main nights on the top floor.
