Nope, Manics were the only gig I saw there. Rest where all at Canterbury Uni, the Leas and Maidstone. Saw The Chords reunion/final gig at Maidstone working mans club, total 70's retro right down to the big fight at the end, no rockers to fight so the...

Thanks for that, think it's the Metronome you mean

Have you seen it recently? It's derelict, but been bought by the NHS I think.Still got no idea of the date of that Manics gig, but at least this sounds like a confirmation that it really did happen!...

RE: Ride played in 1992

Farewell then The Metronome

In the Herald last week it said it's opening as some sort of medical / health centre. Where now might we ever see again bands of the calibre of Suede, The Manics, or Faith No More playing in intimate surroundings?...

Ride played in 1992

They played the Leas Cliff Hall, supported by Verve, it's on my Folkestone '92 page. Can't find the Manics gig on any fansites or anything, though I've heard other people say they were there. There was one gig lined up, then it was cancelled, then th...

And now he needs to keep the old peepers covered to keep a low profile?
