Howya Joey and all. I'm still here meself on and off.
I shudda gone to the reunion. If I had, I would have been somewhere in Dublin on Sunday morning, having stayed overnight. But I didn't, so I wasn't...which resulted in me walking the dog as usual on Sunday morning, in slippy conditions. And guess what... ...I slipped, smashed my wrist in a few places. Had to have an operation last Tuesday to put a plate in my wrist etc. Will be 6 weeks before it's OK again. Oh, well, at least it wasn't my good right hand. Pain in the bum (well, in the wrist) though... ...sure we be grand soon enough!

Brilliant stuff above lads. Seems like the reunion was a huge success, which is great news for the chances of another one (or 2, or 3 etc !!!).

Pogue's post from the 2005 thread.
The 2023 reunion is over now, and we wait for a report on how it went. I am thinking that some of the younger attendees might not know they were partying in a Rock and Roll shrine. The โTennis Clubโ or โOultonโ is where, around 1969, Phil Lynnott, as the lead singer of Skid Row practiced. Without any admission charge you could just mosey into the place on weeknights, usually half empty except for us losers and a bunch of Raheny guysโฆseldom any girls to speak of. Understandable, as Phil was brutal back then and couldnโt sing a lick, even worse on the base, 10 minute drum solos, not a soul on the dance floor. The only enjoyable part was when they played a few records during their breaks. Ahh, sure we didnโt appreciate we were on hallowed ground or what we were witnessing. HAH! ...during the same period Skid Row was the house band at "The Go Go" on Abbey Street. They sucked there too but had a loyal following. Hard to get into without a membership card, or if you didn't look like you stepped off Carnaby Street. ...the band was so terrible that I blame Phil and them as my number 1 reason for leaving Ireland |

Brian's post from the 2005 thread. I know it is hard for Andy as first time without Cecil by his side. However as you know, Rob is a great guy and did a fantastic job on the mic, getting folks up to dance and keeping them there (remind you of anyone?). Rob also gave a great talk at the end and believe me it was very emotional for all. I think they were taken back by the great response om the night. Like a good gig, audiance and DJs feeding off good energy. Rest assured the reunions are in good hands. Edited by Biker Pat - 04-December-2023 at 14:02 |

Saturday's reunion was brilliant,Cecil's son Rob did a fantastic job filling his fathers shoes,and it looked like he was really enjoying it,which was great.And it was fantastic to see so many friends that I had not seen since 2019,and everyone was in top form.The venue was quite intimate,and the lighting was dark,with red lights ( not great for photo's ),it made me think of what the original Grove in Mount Prospect might have been like... the bar service was very good,and there was a great variety of drinks,but the only problem was they didn't accept cash,so luckily I had my card with me.I was delighted to see the dance floor packed for most of the night,and Grovers doing what they do best,it was the perfect way to pay tribute to,and remember Cecil...the spirit of the Grove is still alive and well...here's to the next reunion

When you think about it Pat - First you found it impossible to go from Mt Prospect to St Pauls - Then difficult to go from Vinyl to Cd's - and Now! You prefer The Grove Forum over Facebook.
You have been an old Fogerty-Follower-Fart from the get go and you are just going to have to toe the line with us younger GrungeGothAirHeadBanging members. ...kiddin, even though I'm much younger than you I refuse to go an Facebook.
