From someone on mr gig:
Toft's Jazz Club was just down the hill from the Harp Club. Stand outside the harp, turn left (looking at the roundabout). Cross the road to the library, turn left and walk down past the roundabout. Its a big building on the left. Was Tom Brown's, is now houses / offices or something?
Seems Fleetwood Mac also played Folkestone at some point, and The Manics really did play the Metronome:
I can 100% confirm FACT that Suede did support Kingmaker at the Metronome and that the Manics did play there on a Sunday night - I was there. PJ Harvey also played at the Metronome and the Comedy Club saw appearances from Jo Brand and Harry Hill.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of enthusiasm when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and stuff, and I hear it was a useful reference for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from a pretend paper 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 get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
