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 |

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. |

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.

Teresa - Do you remember "Mama" by Phil Collins/Genesis being played during the slow set ?

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

"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. |

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. |

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.

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
