It was a class place with music you wouldn't hear anywhere else. That's what made so different. Somewhere you just had to be. You couldn't miss a Grove. That would have been a sin. And it's great to be able to carry around the Grove sounds on my MP3 player today. Have my Grove folder. The memories will always live on.

No way....and you'll understand why not, it's a personal message. But I'll say this. All of us Grovers mean so much to him and he is very touched by the warmth and love that surrounds this whole website and our get togethers. |

On a quiet night in a quiet bar in Malahide in October 2006 I met privately with Cecil and handed over a framed copy of this tribute. I asked him not to open it till he got home and I will never forget the text he sent me after reading it.  |

Cecil was telling me that he was listening to Neil Young from Grove Road. The sound was quite clear because the night was so still. He played the last song from Sergeant Pepper (can't remember the title) and was very impressed by the rendition.

Cecil, You're contribution to the webcast was wonderful. I think you're getting younger and you came over as enthustiac as ever. It's so good to have you around and give your time and experience to such projects. There will never be another one like you  |

This is just to say thank you so much to Cecil who gave me a copy of the DVD and the CD of the radio show. I watched the DVD last night - spotted a few people I knew and apart from a few sniffles enjoyed it no end. But the CD today, the mixture of Cecil's voice and the sounds were very emotive. Then on came Homethoughts from Abroad and that finished me. Bawled the old eyes out. Cecil it was really great to meet you again after all these years. Thank you for a wonderful youth and so many happy memories. Cheers |

Top class Pat...................although I'm far too young to remember 1972 I'm sure you capture the mood perfectly.
