Grove Reunion June ’09

You know what would work ANYWHERE?

A Grove re-union/tribute night.

(I'm not suggesting we go on the road and pick places to have a night around the country/world)

BUT if Andy and Cecil (or impersonators) were to set up a night and play THAT music we all grew up with it would work.

Of course,it would by no means be The Grove without the above mentioned,but I would travel to a town nearby if I thought that kind of night was goin on.

Likewise,people (down here for example) who never heard of the Grove,or people up and down the country who simply have an appreciation for Grove type musi would absolutley love it!

We all know someone (who was never at the Grove) who loves Rock/alternative music and would do anything for a night like a re-union.

I guess what I'm flaffing about saying is,aren't we lucky to have had the re-unions? I was in a local pub recently and spoke to a lovely couple (biker types with long hair,leather stuffetc.)  who would just love what we were priveleged to.

I spoke to a colleague from Kerry who saw the doc when it was aired and he said I was so lucky to have somewhere like that to go.

Remember it,savour it,and live it to the last as we never know when it will be just that-the last.

In the meantime,be thankful to Cecil and Andy,to Tina for lending him to us,and for every Saturday night since 1967.

JTL,

That emoticon is brill. Haven't seen it before. I think Floyd was is still getting over the last reunion but I wouldn't knock his idea at all.

Problem is, who's free to do the roadshow?

No worries Floyd.

We knew what you meant. You're not the first and won't be the last to be posting in the hazy hours of the early morning

I think Floyd should be barred

Folks looked like a great night was had by all.

Many thanks Finno. Registered after the last reunion, but haven't found the time to visit as often as I'd like.
Glad you like the art works - been nurturing them along for nearly 30 years now, but they're still evolving!

Jen,

I have seen a recent interview with Eldritch. Its the first in 12 years and he has no hair at all - still living in Germany and now 50 years old. The photo in the article was fine, but I saw a poster for a recent gig which made him look terrible. Still gigging and still saying no need to record as tours are far more luctrative than records.

Thats the point Pogue--Cecil has never taken a drink in his life. Seact Suas or Coke is about as far as it goes.
