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 set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for best venues + things, + I know it was a handy resource for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
