The first song that me and HD danced to at the grove was "stairway to
Heaven" Led Zep and the second was "Women" John Lennon and when we got
married we got the video man to play those songs through out the
video.....I know soppy!!!...but also sweet memories

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

It's a joke ya dingbat. Question. Why should you ( as in anyone, not necessarily your good self Pat ) never knock down a Scouser on a bike ? Answer. Because...........knowing the Scousers,it's probably your bike.

Yeah Rolo. Never forget the first time I heard Fearless in the Grove, which is where I heard it first. "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the end is priceless, even though I'm a Man U man. |

"Chance", the only song I ever liked by Big Country. Bought the single on a cycling trip in a town called Nijmejen (spelling?) in Holland in 1985. |

And "Gaye" by same artist. Also "Fearless" by Pink Floyd. "Everybody Needs A Friend" by Wishbone Ash another classic. |

I always loved "Wish you were here" always brings me back to the grove and good days. Others were Angie, Stay with me till dawn Judy Tzuke, Love and Affection also. 10cc I'm not in love seems to even bring me back earlier than the grove and lately I am listening to Guitar Man - Bread.

Regarding slow sets in the 80-84 era there was one
slow track which I really didn't take to at all. It was "Chance" by "Big Country". It's a bit of a new wave dirge to be honest. I'm not sure if there were any other new romantic/new wave crossover songs which made it ever into the slow set. Most of them were "shiny happy" jingly jangly ditties which were uptempo. Perhaps some of the angst ridden Morrissey material might have fitted into the slow sets. For me the slow set song classics are nearly all the female vocals ones such as Janis Ian -17 and Joan Armatrading - Love an Affection. Rolling Stones Angie is really nice though and I'll always associate that with Grove nights and a really pleasant atmosphere when the night was closing in. |

Too true. Occasionally I read the local papers here (Mayo News, Western People, Connaught Telegraph, Tuam Herald) for (as Phoenix magazine would say) the bog cuttings. Plenty of agro and mad stuff going on on a regular basis regardless of location |

Rene, I went to the Grove when it was in Mount Prospect and I can't recall any major hassle. I think the music and the crowd and the DJ.......forget his name just made it work. I wouldn't go near a disco/club now.........even pubs are mad now with fights etc.. and not just in Dublin. |

>I always thought club 74 was the event that was the early format of >the Grove, maybe in the Cricket Club or thereabouts or even perhaps >Belgrove origionally,
>Someone clear this up >Stevie Club 74 was held every Friday in St Paul's College, the exact same location as the Grove. It was more disco music and it was definitely not as well run as the Grove. There was alomost always fights there either inside the place ot outside. I saw some with chains and knives inside on the dance floor. Outside there was also almost always fights. I saw some terrible thing there. Once a gang was chasin 1 guy up the road towards Killester Church and I hope that they would not catch up with him for his sake. The bouncers were useless but also the crowd that came from Donneycarney and other parts who were only looking for trouble. In the beginning it was trouble free limited to people from a number of schools like Manor House, St Pauls and I don't remember what other schools. I missed it when ti closed down from a musical prospective but the Grove was a very safe place. The people who frequented the Grove were seldom trouble makers. René |
