GROVESTOCK in Stradbally sounds perfect.

I was thinking of a more rural setting, about 55 miles south of Dublin. We could hold it outdoors in someone's back garden and call it "Grovestock"

Going back to the reunions from 2006, non-grove people who know me, used to be slightly confused why I was choosing to go to these "reunions" after all these years, but, as Pogue says, "you had to have been there". I think, with Cecil's passing, and all the glowing tributes being paid to him on media, whether in print or on radio or social media, they do get it now.
I really hope Andy can do at least one big "wake" (as he called it on radio recently) for Cecil. It's going to have to be a bloody big venue. :)

Cecil has left behind a Grove family that no other disc jockey has ever achieved.
We're part of that family and will remain so. |

Thanks for posting that Killian
The one thing that separates Cecil from other legends is the fact he became one without any promotion from media or hype. If anyone ever asked you to explain Cecil or The Grove you could only say โโAh, you had to be there.โ

That would mean they got together in the mid 80s - a little past her 60s iconic poster prime I suppose Mick was a bit past his prime too.

I just read this:
Nothing embodied the spirit of Hair more than the giant coiffure of its poster girl and star of the West End production, Marsha Hunt, the actress with the spectacular Afro who went on to inspire the Rolling Stones to write Brown Sugar, which reached number two in the UK charts and the top spot in America. With her black curls radiating out like a giant atom-bomb cloud, Huntโs sensuous arms wrapped around her lithe legs, naked except for bracelets of tiny bells on her arm and ankle, her photo by Lord Patrick Lichfield became one of the iconic images of the 1960s. I loved that poster without ever knowing it was Marsha |

Marsha was in the original cast of Hair. I'm sure Gerry is right about that being her only personal hit.
Mick had good taste is all I can say
