Grove Pictures?

Ah Lorri,you got it in one.

Listen, the number of coincidences that have taken place around here since we started posting regularly has got totally out of hand altogether.

Don't think we ever met, though our Grove eras would be reasonably similar, we were 79/80 - 85.

Is Noeleen Gregory related to Anne Gregory (see my previous pic)..? seem to remember she had a sister okay.

Don't know Hayseed, was actually going to ask you the same thing. She was going out with the lad that took that pic at the time. Think they were from Donaghmede or somewhere like that.

Asked and Answered, HD. biggrin biggrin

Actually, think they must've been. Now that you mention it,think Noeleen came from Rathvale which is off the aforementioned Tonlegee Road.

bigok Hi Rolo you're exactly the way I remember you! Is that Karen Daly's brother? I think we better send Bluebell 'round to do that garden and take the strimmer to your hair as well Wink

Hi Lads & Ladies,

Long time lurker, first time poster, this board is great!

That pic of Noel Glancy took me right back 20 years+, that guy could skin up a "special ciggy" one-handed while taking a slug from a can of beer with the other, all with impeccable cool on the top deck of the bus back from Abbey St to the Grove, while all the girls adored him! Knew him through my mate Dec Peelo (Coolock) who was another Grove Face 82-85 or so. There was a big mad blonde lad from Finglas called Hatch who used to bomb around (and fall off) motorbikes as well who was part of that crew. Some amazing hippy type girls as well that fuelled many a teenage fantasy, seem to remember a girl called Bugsy(?) on Howth Road who always had the best post-Grove parties.

Brilliant to have so many memories re-kindled reading this board and happy to say that having the pleasure of now knowing and regularly chatting to the one and only Mr Cecil Nolan through a mutual love of junior soccer (believe it or not) I can tell you that he gets huge pride and pleasure from the legacy he left behind and the affection that thousands of Grovers have for him to this day. So guys keep on Grovin' and reaching the parts of my brain that I thought the flagons of Stag in the Nep killed off all those years ago.

Hey Fester,

Nice first post!

Wow! Small world, you've certainly mentioned a few heads that I remember. I think everyone knew Hatch and his motorbike and "Bugsy" (Deirdre) from (ironically enough) just across the road from the Shieling on Howth Road..you obviously remember her "room" as well with all the posters and peoples drawings and poems written on the walls - great after-Grove and, indeed (before-Grove, on Sundays) parties...remember her well - she used to be one of the regulars to my house on Brookwood Ave in August for the "two weeks free house" when my folks went away
