Dude i was at that Manics gig man it kicked ass. They cancelled the first week because James Dean Bradfeild had a bad throat so they couldnt play. but it was worth the wait, me and a load of guys came up from Rye to see that show. i remember i had all my fucking hair back combed and had spent the whole day polishing my cow boy boots, lol! just saw that the Metromome is no more, was just looking around for other venues to play with my band "TORQUE ARMADA", and thought of the METRONOME and how i would love to play there. is there anything else down that neck of the woods now? if ya know of any our email is torquearmada@hotmail.co.uk -oh and check us out at www.myspace.com/torquearmada
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fever of excitement when I first moved here sometime in '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a handy resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a fake newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
