Yeh--I'm one of the oldies right enough but there was an older generation before me (around Cecil's age) that was still referring to The Grove as "Eason's" when I started going (2nd Summer of Love '68.) Did anyone ever ask Cecil where that name came from? or maybe Frank knows...the land owners would be my guess. I know Lucan Dairies once butted the property from the Vernon Avenue end.

Pogue, am sure someone in Ireland could arrange sending you a copy.
After all without the likes of you, Derek, Frank and even Cecil (lol 😂), the Godfathers of the Grove, none of us who followed may never have experienced the magic of what was the Grove. |

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

Thanks -Kewl!- I might try to get it shipped over. My wife, also a Grover, from Blackheath Park was on the 32A route so should get a kick out of it and let me out of the doghouse once in awhile. Looking at the trailer - Besides the bus route, is 32A also a play on words for bra size?

Just caught up on the last 10 posts in the thread folks, great stuff. Couple if things :
- Joey will you not be at, or at least trying to get ticket, for the "final" reunion on 30 Nov. - or did I misunderstand your post ?!! - Pogue thanks for the kind words re Gerry. He is genuinely the most unaffected guy you will meet. I played with him for 4/5 years from 1978 (Gerry was 17 then I think). He was already an undiscovered secret locally (Raheny/Clontarf!Howth kinda areas) at that stage. I meet up with Gerry every time he's over here the last 15 years or so, and have got backstage at all those gigs including the Bowie/Point one - thanks to Gerry's generosity. A true gent, and a genius musician... |

Lol Pogue.
Tried that hunching down trick as well. I genuinely had an uncle Eugene who was a bus conductor with CIE. He was on the 42 I think, the one that stopped on Brookwood in the old days. Occasionally he'd be on the 20 to Collins Avenue so I'd get a freebie from school in Marino to home. Never told the folks. The saved bus fare went on tooth damaging goodies 😂😂😂. Back to 31A. Not sure where anyone can get a copy of that. |

Thanks Pat HAR!
The old' "My uncle is a bus conductor" line never worked for me either. I was sixteen before I broke the habit of hunching down to make myself look like a five year old.

Pogue,
Unfortunately can't help out on this one. I haven't even seen 32A myself. My best or worst memory, depending on how you look at it, of a 32A was being f**ked off because I didn't have enough dosh. Even pleading that my uncle was a bus conductor made no difference. Edited by Biker Pat - 27-May-2019 at 13:32 |

Thanks Joey-it's in the mail....coming straight from Nigeria
RR--I checked out the Suzanne Vega, Tiny Desk thing again and enjoyed it much more knowing you are a friend of Gerry. Brilliant musician! I read some of the viewer comments on the performance and this one stood out: –"I had a chance to see these two up close and the evening was incredible. Gerry Leonard created an amazing sonic environment that let Suzanne Vega reveal her lyrics and songs in a authentic, relaxed and dramatically riveting manner. One of the best performances I've seen." and another: "Holy sh*te, Gerry Leonard. Super talent to back you up. Probably one of the best overall producer/player in the biz. The amazing glue behind Bowie's tours. He has a talent for getting huge sound and layering on stage that is nothing short of miraculous." I have not seen 32A yet. It doesn't seem to be available over in this part of the world but will get it eventually. Ahem...Pat? .
