Posted my reply there before I saw Pat's - you know me Pat, I don't know my thread from my elbow .

I'd say there was about a dozen family/non-Grove friends who listened cos I was on. Not a big number but every little helps I suppose ...

I don't think of the show as a public speaking exercise,its a small room with a few people chatting about what we love...music...I never know whats gonna come out of my mouth next when I'm on air...there lies the fun part

It doesn't matter Gerry.

I was just thinking if anyone was logged into the Grove Radio thread they may not see this excellent discussion under this thread.

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

Oh I know Sean, it's basically like a few mates in a room chatting - and that's exactly what it feels like, but maybe people don't realise that! I'm a bit the same re what's coming out of my mouth next, as you say that's part of the craic !!'

Yeah, sh*t Pat you're right - everyone will just think we're taking turns saying "looking forward to the reunion" or something! Right, whoever adds next we'll try go to the radio show thread ...

Agree Sean.

In fact you don't have to talk at all but once you're into the show the conversation flows naturally.

After all the presenters are not strangers but fellow Grovers.

And you guys in the studio make it very relaxing.

I loved doing the shows I did.

Agree, agree, agree with everything you guys said. I actually love doing out the playlists. Every single band I've been in I looked for the job of doing the set lists - normally the other lads were delighted someone volunteering to do the "admin", but I think the order songs are played can be as important (if you get it right) as the actual songs themselves! Weird I know ...

Gotta put this down for a while, work to be done, me to do it, wifely inspection in a couple hours!!! I'll read what's come in since I've been typing this, but reply later this evening ok lads ..

Lol Poguey - there's a variation in the middle, where I stand on one leg, Ian Anderson style, and wave me flute about! That usually depends on the number of drinkies consumed to that point though !!!

From comments and photos on FB it looks like the reunion lived up to its usual high standards and everybody had a blast 🎸🎸🎸

Pat, it was even better than I had hoped. A truly spectacular night, Mel looked after me the whole evening. Had an absolute ball, couldn't believe it when it was time to finish. I finally met Sean Duffy and Joey the lips. Nearly all too much to take in. Had a few words with Cecil at the end as well to cap it all. Brian, Lyn, Jen of course. And my new Mod pal Mark. Various other lovely ladies and gents. Discovered I could still duckwalk (well, a bit    ) What a night...to be continued!
