Was wondering whether the Libertines had a link to the area.

What's their connection with Margate? As far as i'm aware none of the band are from there.

They own a hotel there
Margate’s a bit hipstery now isn’t it?
About a third of it.
The other 2/3 is still pretty run down.
It's getting much needed investment though to bring it up again, hopefully it works, I like a lot of the new stuff there, some quirky pubs etc.

The connection is my mate, he became very close with Carl and Peter years and years ago. My pal has gotten the libertines and chas and dave among others to play at 2am on a few Friday nights at a place called the tap and tin in chatham, as a favour. They love him and the connection is no more than him moving to Margate to turn the old punch and Judy pub into the Brackett. This place has now gone and is part of the ticket office for dreamland but they opened the bar and hotel recently and it is cool as fuck.
Margate is also a bit of a magnet for culture as much as people like to look down their noses at the place. The Turner gallery there started the ball rolling and whilst it hasn't been a complete success financially reopening dreamland has kicked the area on as well. The old town is nice and the art Quarter is too. Bit like folkestone
You are correct, none of the band are from Margate however it has become a spiritual home i suppose
The home kits look like they're inspired by graffitied pub toilets! Prefer the "jizzy camo" variations as @Dazzler21 so eloquently described them...haha!

In all seriousness, I actually quite like them.

So on this terms it looks like it's working.
But only if it were a CAFC top
