It is a bit ironic that The Grove has figured in my life

exactly twice that amount of time,44 years.

Jasus Pat, I can't believe that Pete was only born in 1971, We all look so much younger than him, even Pogue and the Brendan fella in their most recent pictures look younger

music, better in fact,
than the later years.Zeppelin, Purple, Cream, Rory, Taste, Quo, Doobie
Brothers, ZZ Top, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy (early stuff), Wishbone Ash,
Neil
Young etc....[/QUOTE]


Sheezus Pat!..You are only a baby. I officially left the Grove in 71 with a
wedding ring on my finger. I do admit that's It's funny-coz I look so
much younger than you    Snaarrrf! [/QUOTE]

I was only borm in 71...Old Man!!!!!...

I have to say I'm wiping tears away having watched that. SO many memories came flooding back of my time in the Grove from 83-91, a time in my life I'll never forget & I thank Andy, & Cecil in particular for giving me the chance to shake off the cobwebs & pretend I'm 17 again. Thank you both & here's to many more. Looking forward to the reunion even more now!

Thats brilliant - thanks for the info Pogue!! 

Watched the documentary for the second time, even allowed the wife
take a peek.

John Quinn (The Stick) mentioned by Cecil, was a good friend of hers (too
good for my liking -heheh) and "The Tribe" as they called their little
group of girls. The Stick was a funny guy and the most outgoing nut in
the place. Hello John if you are still out there!

After the documentary I listened to the beginning of one of the Podcasts
(about 6 mins in) where Cecil insisted there was never an Abba poster in
the Grove. There was along with a Leonard Cohen (images attached) but
maybe they were not official Grove Posters as they were screen printed
directly for CBS. Artist was Tony Carroll...master Printer was his big
brother, Yours Truly. They were plastered all over Dublin and I am almost
sure, Tony being resident artist of the time, that copies ended up on the
Grove walls. If nobody remembers either of these posters maybe I was the
one on "The Ghangah"

Hiya Pat/Pogue,

Dont want to start a "New Grove vs Old Grove" debate but pretty much all of the bands/artists you mention, Pat, were played when I was there from 79/80 to the mid 80s.  Anyway, New Grove or Old Grove, we're all Grovers at the end of the day.....
