Sean. That was a show that had me captivated throughout. Cecil and Derek are so musically knowing. Thank you and Brian for getting them on the show. Rock on, Pat

I could never tune in to “nearFM” from Ohio but finally copped on and found the live-stream on YouTube. It was a huge coincidence and thrill that on my first listen I heard Cecil and Derek reminiscing on the “Grove Posters” by the Carroll brothers (Tony, Brendan and Sean). After working over half a century in the art business it is flattering to have work remembered from my teenage years and even more of a thrill to be mentioned as a tiny part of Grove history. Cecil also talked about Bono, Pat Mc Morrow, Larry Mullen, Marty
Whelan as ex-Grovers, but who the hell ever heard of them guys? HAH! |

That is amazing that on the night you finally connected with the radio show that Cecil and Derek were the guests. When I meet up with Cecil and Derek recently they were reminiscing about the posters and who made them and your names were mentioned with fondness. My memory of Mount Prospect is filled with images from the posters on the walls and were a major factor in creating the unique atmosphere in the place. As for my name being mentioned in such exalted company must make the others feel honoured lol 😂😂😂 |

No need. I posted the above request before reading the FB page. Thought it might have been a simple cut and paste job but I had forgotten there were two playlists, one was Cecils and the other Derek. Apologies. BP Edited by Biker Pat - 08-September-2018 at 20:05 |

Saw that on FB. Enough material left over for another show. And like I said last night, there are songs on there I never heard before. Cecil and Derek know their music. |

Gerry - Thanks again for coming in last night. It was a great show. We will have to have you on again sometime.
Pat and Gerry - thanks for reminding me of this site. I have to admit if it wasn't for the Grove I wouldn't be on FB at all. It serves a purpose but I'm increasingly not a fan of the medium. Its a necessary evil if you like. This site is where I first got to know ye all. Pat - I still remember you introducing me to everyone back in 2006. Robbie's reaction was a scream - he couldn't get over Sister 1 being a bloke! Gerry - I was thinking of how welcoming everyone was then when you commented how myself. Jen and Lynne welcomed you last night. That's the one thing I like most about the Grove - great people to add to the great music. Its a powerful combination. When Cecil was on recently he asked me off air if I thought the Grove would ever die - my answer was that it will continue to live on - music is a gift for life and it keeps on giving. It still does after 51 years so no reason why it shouldn't keep going. Brian.

Brian, you lad - you came back, as you said! Nice one...
Very interesting question about the Grove thing, I have actually thought about it. I suppose there are two ways of looking at it: The simple (and maybe best): the Grove was/is about music, but also about friendship - music will never die, nor will friendship; The complex: The grovers are getting older (as everyone is anyway). As the Grove club itself is no longer - in the sense of a physical venue, new membership cards etc - that manifestation of "the Grove" necessarily has a limited lifespan. So, how to keep the Grove going without these things ... Well, we have the Radio show, we have the websites, we have the get-together so (reunions). Cos of time constraints last night, and cos I'm a complete waffler (as I warned you lol) I never got to say things like - I think the Grove is a kinda state of mind around good music, good times, loyalty to mates, loving life, "not being a prick", etc, etc. So maybe there doesn't have to be a venue or cards etc once the Grove mindset is kept going ... How to get "new" people into that vibe is the question. I don't know the answer yet, but I am thinking on it... Jaysis, Brian, you'll def be an asset back here, you have me little brains workin away like mad ...  Edited by Rahenyrhythm - 06-October-2018 at 22:27 |
