Yeah, really looking forward to it Brian. I mean, REALLY looking forward to it. I have to be careful now, I have to mind I don't get too "excited" with the pints at the Waterside. It would be (as I was saying last night I think) a real irony (and a bit like some of the old Grove days!) if I staggered up to the Abbey Tavern to be told "not tonight son"!!! I would probably cry!
But that won't happen ... Defo not ...  Always liked the Abbey T, used to hang out round Howth as well as Clontarf etc in my teens. I was actually - with a pal of mine - interviewed by one of the Scott-Lennons, can't remember his first name, for Summer job there as lounge boy or whatever. The lad was very nice, but our hair was way too long and it was probably obvious we'd never done a days work in our lives then, and we weren't going to start in the Abbey

Gerry - it will be weird and wonderful for your first reunion next month. Like SHH, mine was in the Shieling in 2006. The RTE documentary aired the month before and unlocked a lot of memories and strangely got me thinking of going along. I've met some great people since that and not been to a bad night out, get together or reunion since. The Abbey Tavern is a great venue in my view - something about the vibe that is grove esque. The owner apparently went there too.

Ah thanks a million lads, you are really very kind. Maybe one of you might do a show with me or someone else? The crew are mad to have new people guesting, just makes the whole thing more interesting? We can plot this at the reunion!

Fantastic show. Really brilliant (honestly). Fair play to you. Re walking back into the hall, it's no bother at all. My first reunion was 2006 and myself and another chap met up in the Car Park of the Sheiling hotel before venturing inside. We knew one or two old friends but everyone else was a stranger. Within a few minutes we all met loads of new friends and got chatting and we have been mates ever since. Personally speaking, I felt like I was returning to my spiritual home - there's no issues and everyone, of every generation, feels the way you do about the grove. Never thought I'd see the grove back since the "old days" but it is - I love it.

Ah cheers Mel, very decent of you. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, the hard work is kinda done by now (ie the playlist is ready to go) - although it was really great fun, not hard work, putting the songs together ... But, respect to all the radio crews - trying to put something together covering 30 years, a whole lot of different genres of music, "big hits", lesser-known gems, etc, etc - is tricky to say the least (although I know you've already done it Mel). So we'll see! The talking bits I assume will be me just bullsh*ttin about going to the Grove, the Annes etc. I can imagine how my awful Dub accent will sound broadcast across the airwaves! But no, it has too much potential for craic to allow myself to get nervous or bothered etc - just gonna try really enjoy it! Thanks again for those words of encouragement Mel. See you soon enough.

Haha - make sure you mimic Cecil's infamous words "And now we're gonna slow it down" before sticking on a slowie. Seriously, best of luck tomorrow Gerry - it's great craic, time will fly by. I'll be listening in and we'll all meet up in Howth next month as well.

Hey, you too Joey. Sorry so long replying, out working today from early, just home. I'm gonna try and get to Waterside first so might see you there. Or you can watch/listen to the radio show tomorrow, see what I look like. I'm gonna try get Lynn and Jen up to dance ... They'll probably kick me out ... But could be good craic !!! Dont tell them anything !
