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

💬 Do you know the date of that gig?
This is my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone sometime in '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for best venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for others 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 becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
