Ah yeah, one of the great memories from the "old" Grove was a slow set with a lovely blond girl named Pat. Back in '72 it was.
The song was "Jean Genie" and all around were boppin but me and Pat were oblivious to that. We just swopped tongues !! for the whole song. Way to go Pat, hope you're still rockin in the free world. Biker Pat

There were never enough slow sets at the Grove, that was my only complaint. Otherwise rock on. René |

Hi Aungier, I thought there were loads of slow sets. But I remember the girls use to run for cover when the fast set was about to end. You had to hurry sometimes to catch one. Otherwise they hung in groups and you had to fish one out. God, the innocence of it now. Biker Pat

There were never more thna 3 slow sets in the night and even then they were relatively short so if you missed one, you were lost. René |

Thank God for the slow sets! What if there were no
slow sets?! How would we have learned in the ways of the opposite sex? I was shy back then (but then I discovered Dutch Courage, or was that Autumn Gold, what ever it was they sold it in cans and it really helped the cause) I don't think I'd be half the man I think I am today without the help of The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Judy Tzuke, Hazel O'Connor and Co.!?

I am ashamed to say that I was one of the girls that boldly would say No Thanks when a boy asked me to dance. How cruel! but they were usually Geeks that asked and never the boy you fancied.
Sorry to all those lads whose ego's got deflated. |

Interesting! There was always a weird and wonderful range of social interaction during the slow sets. (It was a human zoo I suppose). Some couples would be a Taliban-friendly distance apart. Others would look like host and creature in a scene from "Aliens". Given what allegedly goes on at teenage events nowdays it seems that some things never change. |

I must have drank far too much over the years as I just don't go back that far! If I was there that night I would have been devastated altogether. I remember one night getting all ready to go and was just about to go out the door when my Dad said "where are you going" - The Grove I said positively - "No your not, said he" and that was it final - said and done - I was never so pissed off in all my life. Still feeling a little bad about it. Had a hot date that night.. Crushed ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

Pat you shared the grove with my sisters, Mary and Bernardine Kelly - although Bernardine was not one for the grove - she went to some dance down by St. Gabriel’s. I bet my brothers Joe and Gerard were also there at times. Do you recall a Celine (spelling?) or Sara O Brien? Breda Fahey maybe - trying to remember the names of their friends.

>Someone clear this up >Stevie Club 74 was held every Friday in St Paul's College, the exact same location as the Grove. It was more disco music and it was definitely not as well run as the Grove. There was alomost always fights there either inside the place ot outside. I saw some with chains and knives inside on the dance floor. Outside there was also almost always fights. I saw some terrible thing there. Once a gang was chasin 1 guy up the road towards Killester Church and I hope that they would not catch up with him for his sake. The bouncers were useless but also the crowd that came from Donneycarney and other parts who were only looking for trouble. In the beginning it was trouble free limited to people from a number of schools like Manor House, St Pauls and I don't remember what other schools. I missed it when ti closed down from a musical prospective but the Grove was a very safe place. The people who frequented the Grove were seldom trouble makers. René |

Rene, I went to the Grove when it was in Mount Prospect and I can't recall any major hassle. I think the music and the crowd and the DJ.......forget his name just made it work.I wouldn't go near a disco/club now.........even pubs are mad now with fights etc.. and not just in Dublin. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Regarding slow sets in the 80-84 era there was one
slow track which I really didn't take to at all. It was "Chance" by "Big Country". It's a bit of a new wave dirge to be honest. I'm not sure if there were any other new romantic/new wave crossover songs which made it ever into the slow set. Most of them were "shiny happy" jingly jangly ditties which were uptempo. Perhaps some of the angst ridden Morrissey material might have fitted into the slow sets. For me the slow set song classics are nearly all the female vocals ones such as Janis Ian -17 and Joan Armatrading - Love an Affection. Rolling Stones Angie is really nice though and I'll always associate that with Grove nights and a really pleasant atmosphere when the night was closing in. ------------- Ian - Grover '81-'84 Exiled to Mayo since 2005 |

I always loved "Wish you were here" always brings me back to the grove and good days. Others were Angie, Stay with me till dawn Judy Tzuke, Love and Affection also. 10cc I'm not in love seems to even bring me back earlier than the grove and lately I am listening to Guitar Man - Bread.

I remember being very careful to look busy and studiously engage in conversation during "17" - it was "not a good look" for a girl to be singing wistfully to "17" during the slow sets!! ;) Did Cecil play "Bright Lights and Promises" once or twice? And here's a bftp..."Old and Wise" - Alan Parsons Project - I'm convinced Cecil played that in early 80's - can anyone confirm? Has anyone mentioned "The River" yet? I'm not a huge Springsteen fan but I've never tired of hearing that song

TMarie - I think Mel mentioned Cecil playing
"The Factory" by Springsteen. I can definitely remember him playing "The River" -- the opening strains of harmonica and it often was one of the first in a slow set. I'm not sure on the Alan Parsons track but I don't think your the first to mention it so it may well have been played. ------------- Ian - Grover '81-'84 Exiled to Mayo since 2005 |

Good God - You're right. I went onto iTunes to preview

Somethimes when we touch - i just love that!!! great pick I am so surprised that so many of you like Janis Ian as since I have been about 12 she is one of my top favorites and I sing most of her songs. Bright lights and promises being one of my favorites - but sing at 17 most! T ------------- "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." |

Bright lights and promises is a great song - I don't know any girl who didn't give it socks for "take a little time, some memories and wine, loosen up the sucker by the bar". Was thinkin you might be persuaded to do a few tunes after the dj's, but then remembered you're in the states I think? Maybe next time... ------------- Cheers Marie |

Always liked Janis Ian. I think she reminds me/us of when we were teenagers.

I had to work hard to get a chance to score. My friends dad was a bouncer (cop from Raheny) and everytime he saw me dance in a slow set with a guy, he was over telling him that he wouldn't be allowed back in if he kissed me!! He thought it was funny to do that to all of his daughter's friends!! We had to have a quiet word with her. He was ruining our chances week after week. Funny though. He saved me from certain kiss of death sometimes!!!

Wow, Home thoughts from abroad, Clifford T Ward, that reminds me of Colin O'Conner from Clontarf. He bought me that record, one of my faves, and the first boyfriend to buy me music stuff!! or anything else for that matter. Thanks for the memories. Going to go out and try to buy it again. (I still have it in my mams house back in dublin) Hope I can get it here in Perth.

In a similar vein : Life on Mars - David Bowie Changes - Black Sabbath Mama - Genesis (Phil Collins) Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits Noticed noone mentioned (or maybe were too embarrassed to mention REO Speedwagon - Keep on Lovin' You  )

Shay - not that I remember. I think he played "Take it on the run". It's the one (if you needed reminding) that starts off with the lyric "Heard it from a friend who ... heard it from a friend.." When I was in first year college there was a student union rep candidate who had as one of the promises in his manifesto that he would ban REO Speedwagon tracks from any of the student discos. His other popular promise was to improve the quality of college toilet roll.

Thanks Ian! I now have that song in my head too.....I had successfully blotted out the whole REO experience and between the 3 of you you've set me back to fleeing to the toilets to escape....and any guy who intercepted asked you up to dance to that....Well lets just say he lost ALL credibility as a rocker! ------------- Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for Breakfast! |
