Jasus you have a better memory than me. I don't ever remember been turned away except for the 1st night when we had to get Trasa's Dad to get us in - we were no less than 14 just a hair away from 15. I remember this big tall fella asking me to dance and only coming up to his knee and all his friends laughing.

Yeah now that you say it I do, oh I've come a long way since then. Ah but there were a few nice Artane lads. Remember them - let's just call one of them Alan?

I must have drank far too much over the years as I just don't go back that far! If I was there that night I would have been devastated altogether. I remember one night getting all ready to go and was just about to go out the door when my Dad said "where are you going" - The Grove I said positively - "No your not, said he" and that was it final - said and done - I was never so pissed off in all my life. Still feeling a little bad about it. Had a hot date that night.. Crushed |

Pat if your ever in Columbus Ohio, look me up and I'll feed you a slurry of them. That conversation you were reading between Kay and myself - well we have not spoken in over 14 years - I met up with her on this web site - how cool eh! Yes we have had some great fun over the years. by the way Pat my hubby was an avid biker from the Grove also.

Pat you shared the grove with my sisters, Mary and Bernardine Kelly - although Bernardine was not one for the grove - she went to some dance down by St. Gabriel’s. I bet my brothers Joe and Gerard were also there at times. Do you recall a Celine (spelling?) or Sara O Brien? Breda Fahey maybe - trying to remember the names of their friends. They were Holy Rosary girls back then - the first class ever in the Holy Rosary actually. |

What do you mean you don't remember 33 years ago, says she who can remember yesterday. Your correct - it was a long time ago. Amazing to think of it! Anyhow do you remember club 74? I hear talk of that among my siblings but not much out here?

I have heard of it a few times - I think it was on a Friday night in the new grove location - a disco from what I hear the all the hippies would flood in on Saturday. Quite the mix... |

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 |

>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 |

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. |
