Think someone mentioned that plan before but the question of copyright raised its ugly head. Haven't a clue what the implications would be but reckon there would be issues of some sort or other. Pity though, it would be a great plan. Still love the idea of people voting for their top five songs. I'd love to see what the overall favourites were. Killian get your thinking cap on. Rolo. |

CD idea is great. You'd need more than a double CD. I could see a series of CD's coming out. You're talking 30 years here and I could fill 10 CD's from 1967 to 1973 alone. By the way I'm growing the hair long again and I'll be around to pick ya up on my hog and we'll hit the road when the breeze in our faces and Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild" ringing in our ears.

It's crap if the copyright issue get's in the way. Surely there must be something that can be done. There must be somebody that can pull a few strings for us. Is there anybody out there who went to the Grove and is very influential now!!!!!

I know that the IMRO Gestapo regularly patrol Irish websites to threaten litigation at even the slightest hint of creativity but here's a suggestion: have various bands record versions of the songs. That would allow: (A) Control of content - e.g. most ex-Grovers would prefer a Santana sound to that of the Zombies for "She's not there" (B) Payment of royalties to the relevant companies (which can sometimes be waived if it's for charity). Don't forget that the original recording artist has no control on the use of their own music - the record companies will allow you to record a Scissors Sisters sound to Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" if you're willing to pay sufficient royalties. (You see many grumpy artists moan all the time when their music appears on 'Best of' compilations) The only problem is finding decent bands to record Grove music: most young men would look at you with a slightly nervous stare and start edging backwards towards the door if you were to mention terms such as "guitar-based" sound: random fiddling with electronic equipment appears to be the extent of the capabilities of many 'live' performers. And how many karaokes before we find our female vocals? Still though, after 30 years of music it wouldn't be that difficult to conduct a series of polls on the site and produce a playlist (even if you hated particular songs I suppose if they were part of the repetoire then they'd need a place on the album). Would really need Cecil to come on board. Just my €0.02 |

Hi Guys, apologies for my lack of presence over the last 3 months, but I'm back from my Southeast Asian tour now. I'll get on the case regarding the possibility of compiling a "Grove" CD(s). I thought about this idea a few years ago when I realised that there was still such a fire blazing in the heart of many ex-Grovers, but was put off by the amount of work involved regarding clearance and copyright. But since then I've been involved in putting together two compilation CDs, one of originals and one of covers. If Tom Dunne can do it, I'm sure we can! Watch this space... |

Crusty I think you need to do more of a double cd compilation...
Maybe 20 full of Mp3 CDs would be better. We could buy an old Van with no Reg plates from the knackers Yard and park it outside the Sheiling and sell the Cds off as the Grovers come out You won't have to worry about Copyright crap lol   |

Southeast Asia? We flew into Singapore for a couple of days (primarily to purchase a half price video camera to document the rest of the travels), then we flew up to Hanoi, North Vietnam. From there we trained and bussed our way south, then into Cambodia, up through Laos to the Golden Triangle and Northern Thailand. Then we made our way south and into Malaysia, and back up into Southern Thailand where we spent the last month island hopping on the west coast. It was a life changing experience, especially Cambodia and Laos. We went scuba-diving, snorkelling, trekking, sampled many fine national beers - I even petted a fully grown tiger!!! Which looking back, maybe wasn't such a smart thing to do, but at the time... If the opportunity ever arises for any of you, grab it with both hands. Even to go to the Thai Islands - Ko Phi Phi, Ko Lanta, Ko Lippeh, etc. for a couple of weeks, if you're interested in doing something that little bit different, beats any of the standard Irish destinations - Greece, Spain, Canarys... and the price you pay for the flights you more than compensate for when you're there, as living is so cheap. It would work out the same if not cheaper! Beautiful people, beautiful environment! I'm even working on bringing a Thai rock covers band over to do a small Irish tour (including one Grove Night). They play all the classics - Metallica, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Motorhead, Pearl Jam, Dio, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Maiden etc. - and they do it well! Have you been to that neck of the woods yourself Pat? Edited by crusty |

Crusty, I discovered Thailand in '92 and go back there every year. The Far East is where its at. I used to work in Aer Lingus and have travelled extensively but Thailand just changed my whole direction in holidaying. The rock music from the old days gets played everywhere. I have a bar in Bangkok that when I go in the man Dom puts on Creedence Clearwater Revival immediately for me. Jaysus, I've air guitared in that bar a lot over the years, usually with a broom  Last trip I brought my own CD's and was allowed do DJ (no mike) in a pool bar in Bangkok for a few nights. No big deal but I met so many people who were into the music, it was a real blast. The Cecil of the Orient The whole pace of life, attitude, prices, food, weather. Hey, I'm hooked. Already booked to return 17 Dec 06. I'm lucky, my wife is Thai. We met in Wales. Her sister works here in Co Clare for a friend of mine who has a hotel chain and we got introduced and the rest as they say is history. It makes discovering Thailand and it's cultures etc.. so much easier. I plan over time to hit Laos/Cambodia etc.. And my advice to all other forum folks is to head east if you get the chance. Crusty is not exaggerating. |

Ok late going into this thread - only joined here yesterday..
Anyhow ehm from what I can remember from '88 - '90 and bear in mind after what 20 odd yrs of listening to music, my mind could be a bit fuzzy and blurring into other disco's, 80's nights and of course the club Dominion that I dj for. Here's the list : Waterboys - Whole Of The Moon B52's - Rock Lobster (with the special dance) REM - Stand (with the special dance) Ram Jam - Black Betty - Defo remember the moshes from this! The Smiths - Panic And How Soon Is It Now? Sinead O'Connor - Mandika Rainbow - Since You've Been Gone. Boston - More Than A Feeling. He did do this didn't he?! The Mission - Wasteland The Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion. The Pixies Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama Steppenwolf - Born to be Wild Bob Dylan - Lady Lay Depeche Mode - Can't Get Enough The Kinks - Lola Motorhead - Ace of Spades The Cure - A Forest U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday, Gloria or I Will Follow? Clime Fisher??? Gary Numan Duran Duran? Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen - this was near the end wasn't it? New Order - Blue Monday Soft Cell - Tainted Love The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary The Police? Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster The Troggs - Wild Thing Alice Cooper - School's Out For Summer? Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69 Golden Earring - Radar Love?? Guns and Roses - Paradise City The Jam - Going Underground & A Town Called Malice The Specials - Ghost Town? The Doors. Talking Heads - Psycho Killer The Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant & God Save The Queen Siouxsie And The Banshees - Dear Prudence & Hong Kong Garden?? Iggy Pop - The Passenger Human League Ian Dury - Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll or was it Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick? Slow Sets Eric Clapton - Wonderful To Night Led Zepplin - Stairway To Heaven Hazel O'Connor - Will You The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin - my fav! Bob Dylan - Knocking On Heaven's Door. He did play this didn't he? I'm nearly certain. Reo Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You. Another one I think he did. Cyndi Lauper - True Colours Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting For You Roxy Music - Jealous Guy - I think? Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - J'taime Moi Non Plus. Another I think he did.. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares To U More will come to me.. Orla ***Edit 1*** Just thought of more - I'll keep adding as I remember The Primatives - Crash? Transvision Vamp - Baby I Don't Care. Defo 'cause I saw them in the Point in 89 and I was at the Grove the next weekend with the bunch of lads, that I went to the gig with - all from my repeat Leaving class. The Clash - ? U2 - With Or Without You - Slow set, I think.. Alice Cooper - Poison. Love this track The Cure - In Between Days & Lullaby David Bowie - Heroes? Ashes To Ashes? Joy Division - Love Will Never Tear Us Apart Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cities In Dust? ***Edit 2*** Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams Billy Idol - Rebel Yell, Mony Mony, White Wedding. I'm defo he played at least one of these. Kraftwerk - The Model. Not sure if he played any of the other great tracks, such as Radioactivity, Autobahn. Probably did but it was before my time. Bon Jovi - Living On A Prayer? ***Edit 3*** Bananarama? The Stranglers - I think Peaches but not sure on Golden Brown, but probably yeah. Prince - Doves Cry, Purple Rain Shakespeares Sister - History? I think perhaps he did but couldn't swear on it ***Edit 4*** Slow Sets - I think these were played - well I do remember dancing to them around this time. Chicago - Glory Of Love Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman ***Edit 5*** And how could I forget, there would be *No* Grove without: REM - The One I Love 
REM - It's The End Of The World and I Feel Fine I'm sure Violent Femme's - Blister in the Sun got a look in somewhere. It's a pity, I don't remember some of the Gothy one's. Grrr.. should do! :p I'm done for tonight anyhow! Gotta get moving - DJ'ing tonight. Have fun reminiscing Edited by aurnia |
