the Grove radio show on Near 90.3 fm

pity I was'nt

Thanks for tuning in as always guys. We really appreciate the support. Cecil and Derek were on great form. Will see ye PG on 16th in Abbey Tavern. No show that night btw!

Gerry that's a good idea and one we thought about for last year's 50th. Near FM do have equipment for outside recordings. The issue is as you point out - whoever did it would be able to enjoy the night as much. We are getting flyers printed to advertise the show and will be handing them out on the night to raise awareness. Cecil will also give us a plug.

That's it Gerry. Cecil and Derek just put a list together and choose as they go along. Rather like the way Cecil used to read the crowd and take the mood up or down depending. It is great to see how he does it and we are still learning from him after all these years.

Just to let ye know i posted a link on th FB page for 8 Grove shows for playback. Included are 3 shows wiith Cecil and Derek plus Gerry Daly, Gerry Quinn and the Home Thoughts from Abroad Show suggestion by Lesley Sheedy we did at xmas. All vwry good shows and worth a listen if you missed them or maybe another liaten to enjoy sone great playlists.

thanks again Brian

Ah nuts, am going to miss this show.  Will listen back later if/when ye have it available down the line.  Enjoy the reunion, those of you who are going.  I can't make this one.

Yep.  I haven't forgotten 18th May for a few beers in HBs.  I'll put up a reminder on here and on FB nearer the date, to remind everyone that it's going ahead.  It needed to be done anyway but it eases the pain of missing the easter reunion.

Happy easter to all! Well done Gerry on Friday. I will bring boxset to HBs next month for you.

I posted up the first 90 minutes of Fridays show on mixcloud for playback (just the way thr studio works, I can be 90 mins now or 120 in two weeks). Will post full show in two weeks. As usual Cecil and Dereks playlist was excellent and they were in great form.

I know a few here cannot make tonights reunion, but will be missed for sure. Will see ye next month anyway please god.

Thanks very much Brian, and Happy Easter back at ya, and all on here. I am very upset to miss the gig tonight but will be in HB next month and hopefully a second reunion this year. Have a great night.

I was smiling to myself at that competition. Now maybe I am missing something glaringly obvious, but I could find no reference to the "Beatles" anywhere in the AC/DC song. I mean Cecil made it perfectly obvious what the answer was, but that's what took so long...was I thinking of the wrong song, or is there some version of it (other than the studio one) that has such a reference Or some indirect reference to the Beatles??!! I is baffled somewhat ...
