Met and "met" related stuff, including places, pubbing, gigs and posts about met. If you have something to contribute concerning met that is not mentioned here, please contribute. Particularly if you have something to contribute concerning local pubbing or other places, home brew, ale, or appley goodness. Cheers.
This is my personal site, so if you search here for pubbing or other places it will only return met pubbing / places I have been to or plan to go to. Fingers crossed it will return those anyway...If you are interested in a more broader search please try met on 'Folkestone Gerald, where I list national and international places...

Super Furry Animals Soho Live with Mansun and Fun Lovin' Criminals. I met Noel Gallagher at this show. Mean Fiddler
Monsters of Rock AC/DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, Queensryche, and the Black Crowes. A pretty special line up at the top of the bill, shame it was the shortest Donington bill ever. Got a coach up from Portsmouth. m/ Castle Donington
Bitch Aid The party to raise some money for popbitch - putting it here as a gig as I met John Deacon that day, I just found an autographed receipt in with my tickets... Saint
Delirious? Ha, AWFUL christian rock. I was accompanying a friend who was reviewing or something. Shepherds Bush Empire
Symposium Where I met Clare, bless! Hope I got that year right... Also, oddly Sylvester McCoy was there at the after show. Electric Ballroom
Under Neath What + Chunk + We Are Going To Eat You. I was in the queue for this gig and bought a fanzine off someone. Did I know Metallica were doing a secret gig just a few doors down at the Marquee club? Why on earth did I stay at the Astoria? Bah... Astoria
Wench all girl metal band The Pit
Frank Black Pixies frontman solo show, plus The Wannadies. I met him and got some posters signed. Portsmouth Pyramids
Bush plus Placebo. Not sure I actually went to this, I remember feeling really ill at the previous day's gig, think I was out for a few days with something like flu or glandula fever... The Wedgewood Rooms
Something Can't remember what, but I know I was at something at the Wedge this night, while Placebo were at the Joiners. Maybe it was a caberet. The Wedgewood Rooms
