Just had a chance tolook at Finno's photos last night as they're blocked here. I definitely met the drummer Gibbo on the circuit back then |

That's right Finno - to dampen the noise down so that the neighbours wouldn't complain Around the same time - prior to Stryder - Gibby - a big fan of The Sweet - along with three of his friends used to do a great 'playback' rendition of the glam rock band |

Hiya Ger...another big welcome to the Grove...echo what has been said before-you will find
AND make friends in here very easily...jump in with the topics. I see from an earlier page you are a Brookwood Avenuer??? Me Too! Wasn't that just so handy for getting home from the Grove when it was in St. Pauls??? Hope you're enjoying it in here...as Roundy mentioned earlier,a meeting in a licenced premises is always a good night...or why not watch the 'Grove Re-unions' thread for an almost-better-than-the-real-thing re-union...hopefully happening around Halloween! Welcome aboard-Have fun! |

Finno, I do remember rushing to try and get to the Grove after gigs and usually ending up sitting around in St Annes having a drink, singing etc... there would always be someone there to meet up with. You went to the Magnet gigs, that was the very early days... and very late nights. Any pictures would be great. Great for freaking out the kids ! |

Glad you enjoyed the gigs, and (very) belatedly thanks for your support. Yes i did have the embroidered jacket, i am thinking of organising an expedition into the attic to see if there is any sign of it..... its soo dark ... Yep the name was taken from Lord of the Rings but we changed the name in case of a massive international copyright issue, or we could'nt spell... cant remember which one .... |

Hi GG, you are too kind. Indeed Mr Quigleys trousers were the topic of many conversations 8). Great site - good times and people should never be forgotten. |

Thanks Pat. Sorry for any confusion, I meant that i dont know if is is possible to post music files. Already i am amased at the people and things being remembered considering the number of years in between. My memory of the old days can be very hazy ... i blame the dodgy curries....

Robbie, my friend, amasing to hear from you after all this time. Have very fond memories of the Pluckers. Costelloe, Roche and Poole - powerhouse trio ! Hope all is going good for you and that we can keep in touch. Best Wishes, Ger |

Hi Ger & Welcome
Thanks for Stryder's great music & gigs around our Grove going years If you can't post a .wav over the web, sounds like a great reason to meet up in a hostelry somewhere & have a listen there...? Was it yourself that wore the Stryder embroidered denim jacket? and did the name originate from Tolkein? CP. |

Well, Ger welcome aboard.
Was hoping at some point someone else would remember some great nights in the Crofton Hotel, I also went to gigs in The Magnet (Pearse Street?). Have more photos so will try to get time to scan them and will post them. |

Simple You look at a thread or topic you like or may be interested in and just post whatever comment you like. Also you can add topics and feel free to do so. Believe me, this is a really friendly site and I have made friends with so many people who I never knew but are so friendly and I meet at some of the re-unions. So blast ahead my friend Pat |

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