Yaaay..seems like an age since we "Groved". I've never been in this venue..well..once about 10 years ago I think I poked my nose in. What is it like size wise etc? Isn't this where the original Grove nights used to be held? ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

l went to loads of Grove tribute nights in radio city,its a good size venue,but l think the dance floor is a bit small,then again the turn outs for the tribute nights were nowhere near what the reunions get,so it should work out fine,l am so chuffed there is another reunion this year 
fair play Cecil and Andy,thank you for a wonderful christmas present,l hope to see everyone there ------------- upon us all,a little rain must fall |

what a great night,who cares if the venue was a bit small,
we all had a great night,and when I think that there wasnt going to be another reunion this year, I say fair play to Andy and Cecil for all their work in making tonight happen, it was great to see so many familiar faces,and all the gang from the website, I had the pleasure of meeting DAYO and Bluebell for the first time tonight,as I said to them,great to put a face to the name
and at the end of the night,I thanked Andy,and he knew my real name,I'm still in shock(in a good way ),and
Andrew Colbert put me out of my misery sometime and tell me how you know my name ? and thank you for all the work you do to keep the Grove going
and Grainne witch,thanks for our'chat'
cant wait for the next reunion ------------- upon us all,a little rain must fall |
