Royal Tunbridge Wells (usually shortened to Tunbridge Wells) is a town in west Kent, England, about 40 mi (64.4 km) south-east of central London by road, 34.5 mi (55.5 km) by rail. The town is close to the border of the county of East Sussex. It is situated at the northern edge of the High Weald, the sandstone geology of which is exemplified by the rock formations at the Wellington Rocks and High Rocks.

The town came into being as a spa in Georgian times and had its heyday as a tourist resort under Richard (Beau) Nash when the Pantiles and its chalybeate spring attracted visitors who wished to take the waters. Though its popularity waned with the advent of sea bathing, the town remains popular and derives some 30% of its income from the tourist industry.

The town has a population of around 56,500 and is the administrative centre of Tunbridge Wells Borough and the UK parliamentary constituency of Tunbridge Wells. In the United Kingdom Tunbridge Wells has a reputation as being the archetypal conservative "Middle England" town, a stereotype that is typified by the fictional letter-writer "Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells".

Royal Tunbridge Wells Video

2 young chaps spitting lyrics to prove to the world that Tunbridge Wells (sorry,ROYAL Tunbridge Wells..) is not posh but infact has a corking hippity hop scene. If they're not found enjoying luncheon in Pizza Express (it's nicer than Pizza Hut. Glad it got shut down) or taking in the sights of the local gallery then you can find them getting smashed in El Mono or doffing up unsavoury characters outside KFC. This is Golly Gosh and they've arrived to tell you their experiences. BOW!

So at the end it's like a western shoot-out quick draw as everybody tries to unholster their camera to get a picture at the same time. So the footage isn't amazing but for anybody who went to the show you have a least something to look back on to say "hey I was there!" . Ken Dodd is an utterly amazing entertainer. A review will be at celebritygreenroom.blogspot.com.
