Super stuff Brian. Hope all the Grove radio crew are happy with the new Grove radio topic.
Easier to find now and I will listen in to the play backs especially as I can't tune in live. |

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

We are Pat, thanks. The playback os something we have found to be quite popular, there are a number of listeners that Friday night doesnt suit for a variety of reasons. Its also good for us to hear what it sounds like and I for one am trying to learn and improve the presentation. So win win. Thanks again for suggesting and agree its much easier now to find and post.

That photo of me with Bob Gekdof, referred to on the show, was taken outside Leixlip Castle back in March 1980. The Boomtown Rats were banned from playing in Leopardstown race course and had to find a new location. Owner of Leixlip Castle Desmond Guinness came to the rescue making his "back garden" in his castle available. Lot more to this story. Anyway I got to grab Bob and get that photo. The concert was amazing. The Rats were massive at the time. |

Thats great Pat. I remember seeing a documentary on it. It was touch and go whether a new venue could be found. Geldof felt the establishment were against him. I could be wrong, but i think he said he wrote Banana republic at the time. I got to see the rats a few yearals back and still impressive live I have to say. Glad you got to hear the show.

We saw the Rats a few times in Moran's hotel on the corner of Talbot Street and Gardiner Street, just before they got too big for pub venues. They were absolutely spectacular in that kind of small venue, one of the best I've seen...Geldof was amazing as a front man, he really was.

Boomtown Rats had some great songs.
Agree Gerry, Geldof great front man. That "Banana Republic" song came in 1981 after the Leopardstown fiasco. They had 2 number one's around the time of their concert. "Rat Trap" and "Don't Like Mondays" as well as other great tracks. I think there was some hullabaloo about using s marquee that the Pope had used on his 1979 visit. Some nonsense anyway. And The Rats had played two sold out concerts in Belfast without any problems. Anyway shouldn't be taking up space on this thread, lol 😂 |

Yeah Pat, Rats a super band.
I'd reckon this a good thread to discuss bands, songs etc., on the playlists. The lists will remind us of things about the songs etc., and maybe post stuff we meant to say on the night of the show and didn't get the chance/forgot or whatever... ...so I reckon we're cool with it
