Hmm, bit more gig history confusion...
This Ride gigography1 says Ride (and not Verve), which I got from somewhere). played Folkestone on the 21st March, 19922. this Mercury Rev gigography3 (now I look into that properly, it says support came from Mercury Rev) backs it up, so does This full Ride gigography4 and they all confirm that the bands were elsewhere on Sunday March 22nd and Sunday March 29th5.
Mostly just thinking out loud here, and making notes for next time I can't remember where the info on the site came from, excuse me.
SO, the manics date in Folkestone is still a mystery! Also where did I get the idea that Verve supported? Off on another quest...

This is my site The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places + things, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were moving here. 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 Folkestone itself is becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from the name of a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + 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 something to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
