assura group has a metronome page1, looks like they own other medical type facilities so this backs up the story of it being bought by a health care trust.
Just found a PJ Harvey gig at the Metronome, and another where she almost played at Bottoms. But it was cancelled.
Still looking for more Folkestone gig histor, if you can contribute any [reply]please do[/reply]...
This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first moved to Folkestone in approximately 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. The site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, + I hear it was a useful resource for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
