Seems to be a severe lack of mid to late 80's people posting. Anyone remember when he used to start the night with Bowie's "Modern Love"? Or am I alone here............

Fairy there's quite a few of us that went during that time frame - perhaps we should have been long gone but a few of us held on till the death.

Indeedey he did. All the combat jacket clad greasy haired metalers on in the middle of the floor till around 10.05pm and then he'd start off with something "jazzy" to get everyone in and the metalers out. Slow set memories (apart from the obvious) Ssssssssssssnowy White - Bird of Paradise, and sometimes Hotel California where once the guitar solo started you would be dumped by your other half so he could headbang whilst still looking cool under that one-red light. Sure weren't we all cool back then.... PLO Scarves, Donkey Jackets - the height of non-fashion. Edited by fairy queen |

Hey ya Fairy Queen There isn't that many mid to late 80's users here on a regular basis. There are a good few oldies here and especially at the Grove reunions night you get good mix of the different era's I loved my PLO and the headbanger set but I didn't have Greasey hair then Jeez!!!!! I don't have much of it left now though l  |

Hi Tonto - glad to hear that I am not the only one from that era. Felt that the documentary last night dealt with the early 70's and the early 90's only. Only thing relating back to the 80's was the opening bars of "She Sells Sanctuary". Must admit that I was slightly teary-eyed watching Cecil's return to the hall in St. Pauls. Actually it was the first time I had seen it since about 1988 so I felt pretty overwhelmed too (looking at it in daylight was weird!).

Hi Fairy Queen, I'm with you on that, watched the documentry and really wanted to see people who were there the same time as myself (83 - 88) but it was great seeing the hall albeit in daylight (made the hubbie watch it with me (ignorant southsider) You never forget the memories from the grove or the people you met there!

Hi Fairy Queen, yeah remember it well I also remember
sitting out the head bangers on the plastic chairs around the floor waiting for
some Not many 80’s grovers around …though good
point .oh weren't the bouncers all cops or was that just a rumour
and who made all the cash out of the grove ? I mean I remember nights
when the drawer wouldn't close for all the fivers in it. |

Hi Hugo
 I think a lot of us here were 80's Grovers actually..I know I started going in the late 70's...but we were still going up to the mid 80's anyway.... Sure there was bugger all else to do back then anyway...  |

Hi Fairy Queen and Dixie and everyone else !!!!!!! I went to the grove in your era - well 84 til 88 - the best years of my life - Does anyone remember Reggy - he was always down in the alcove - he seemed to be older than us but was going there for years - I was a cure head back then - but would be the first to get in the middle of a mosh - I WAS tiny then and the lads used to pick me up and throw me up in the air - jesus the memories of it all - if my kids seen what I got up to back then ! I remember alot of the lads from Pauls - Tom, Smev, Watson, Cheryl and Julie Elliott - a cure head Fred (dont remember his last name) Elaine McRory (Coolock) Valerie Judge, Rachel Monaghan and Sarah Reilly (Artane) Does anyone remember them ??? I remember the Grove so well its hard to think that it was 18 years ago that I went there ! Sad or what, |

Hi Delia, Welcome to the site - hope you'll stay and share your memories with us.
I went to the Grove between 1980 and 1986 (as you can see from my sig. below) and I spent a fair amount of my time down in the alcove. IMHO, it was the best place in the hall but I suppose everyone has their own favourite/regular spot. Mel.

Well Mel you were there my era - you were a bit of a late starter in life - ah - only joking - I was a very early starter - I used my sisters membership to get in - then once I got to know all the bouncers I used to bring them in cakes (I worked in a cake shop back then) and got in for nothing - it was great - all my mates got me to bring in their drink for them as I was never searched (a real lick or what) - My younger sisters went there and whenever we meet up we always re-live the grove and especially the music - Stairway to Heaven has to be the most memorable song for me ! |

Hi Delia Hard to believe it's been that long isn't it? Was nice meeting you at the Halloween Reunion. Sorry if I scared you but I WAS in retro-curehead guise and it must have been a bit disconcerting to see me looking the way I did back then, lol! Have you seen any of the girls lately? Let me know if you're coming to the July reunion and I'll keep an eye out for you. Jen ;->
