Suede @ Folkestone Metronome

Was searching for mentions of The Metronome a famous music venue of Folkestone, was hoping to find some details of The Pixies playing there... no joy there, but it seems Suede played there in 1992, supporting Kingmaker....

It's been a week

Time to mention the bus again, the 106 is back on track, not being diverted via Stoke Newington Church Street and so on, got me into work a bit too quick today... further investigations into Folkestone Metronome reveal that Zodiac Mindwarp and Wolfsb...

A quarter of commuters have found love in the tube

according to a poll by London Underground. And who's printing this shite? Yes, Metro. What should the sharpest response be? The other 75% can never find love becuase they've gnawed off their genitals in sheer frustration at the poor service? Stuck at...

Jim Bob

I saw Jim Bob watch Mika Bomb last Friday. He was stood by the bar looking very cool. He has a centre parting these days, not the string hair of old. He looks like a matinee idol.

David Walliams

He was at the Parva gig last Thursday, 23rd January.

Steve Lamacq

Appreciating the sweet sounds of Corporation:Blend

Alan McGee

He was walking, talking and drinking. I think he may have deejayed before Evan Dando played. btw. Mr. Dando was good but he walked off stage after about 35mins and didn't come back - someone said because the crowd were not giving him enough recogniti...

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?...

Inside the Metronome

Hmm, is this working..? The Metronome might be gone, take one last look around the inside with these trespassing skaters......

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

Yip was the Metronome, forgot its name as it was a very short lived venue, pity had a nice atmosphere. But though intoxicated at the time I can definatley state the gig did happen.
It was just as Generation Terrorists was climbing the charts.

now all we need is the date...

did you see any other bands there? I've heard of a few others playing there, it was on the indie circuit, but no-one's sure of actual dates. Suede played there, that's one I do have a date for, as it's in their biography Love and Poison. I hear Faith...

Spoof stories

Noticed a lot more people recently turning up here having looked for spoof stories or spoof story, mostly as a result of this spoof story about Dickens World. Wonder if it's just coincidence that people are trawling for spoof stories around the time ...

Is this who's bought the Metronome?

assura group has a metronome page, 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...

Thanks for this Chris, love this gig history

Got all of these gigs in the Metronome history page, don't suppose you have the actual dates of any of those do you?

Underground house video

Have a look round the new underground houses built in what was the boiler house of the Metropole hotel. Bit of a video look round, courtesty of kentonline.co.uk. Prices around 300k each, but you can look for free!...

Thanks for the Manic Street Preachers in Folkestone update

The venue is still empty, can't see it coming back to life. I heard a while ago it had been bought by an NHS Trust.

Gene Loves Jezebel

Not sure if the gig was actually at the Metronome or not, were you there, do you know?
