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 ! |

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! |

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 |

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 |

Finno, Joe went to London first in 1985 and then asked the rest of the guys to go over. Myself Alan and Eugene (Gibby) went over. We rehearsed in a furniture shop in Lewisham. We lived in a house over the shop. Evenually Alan left and we got another singer. Its a long and mad story but we ended up playing in the Royal Albert Hall. I came back in 1987. |

Hi Ger
Mark W here...I remember Dad bringing me a copy of the single and I think we have a copy somewhere among the vinyl piled in the attic in his house...remember being ill when he told uz u played the AH. Have sent Joe a message to tell him about this thread - he has some great pics that everyone might like to see so I've asked him to post them. Young Kev played with Joe recently in PV...and learnt lots....Joe doing lots of things. Always wanted to go to the Grove with u guys but born too late...might share a beer at one of the reunions...say hello to all the K's for me.... Mark ps Corwin - there may be a contact thru the following link that might help ur search : http://irishrock.org/ipnw/bands/stryder.html |

Re link (http://irishrock.org/ipnw/bands/stryder.html) would never have described them as heavy metal

Thanks Aries - have been checking out the site for some time now - and did make one of the reunions at the Shieling some years back which I really enjoyed - have lots of memories...some amazing and some not so hot...of my many Wednesdays/Saturdays/Sundays in the Grove...which I will have to write down some day.
Will dig out some photos to share as well. |
