Folks, Just got the following email from the band. Grovers are being offered special concession/passes for this special event. Those interested in going please let me know by posting here or by PM. This is a special concession to us Grovers and I can tell you there are further special gigis coming up which I cannot mention at the moment. Hey Pat, Firstly, thanks a million for all your support for the Bernie Marsden gigs. Just to let you know we're doing a special gig in the Slaughtered Lamb on Sunday the 26th of April @ 8pm as a launch of our new live cd/dvd album. Its called "Live...........And In Time", and was recorded on our european tour last year. As far as I know there is 100 guest passes/invitations available and as usual im trying to get the Grovers sorted out first. It's gonna be a great night, we'll be doing a set, showing the dvd, and we'll have some copies for sale on the night at €15 for the double live cd/dvd pack. When it comes out in the shops they will be charging around €22 for it, so personally i'd like to see you guys getting a bit of value first!! I really hope your crew can make it and help us celebrate its release, you guys have been with us from the start. If you want any amount of guest passes for the 26th(you guys will not be charged in to this!!!!!!) let me know, call me on 086 4012690 Hope all is well with you and the rest of the Grovers, talk to you soon Gordon,Pat, and Paul ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Brill Mel, By the way did you get all those things autographed last gig with Bernie Marsden. I had to dash off. And believe me the guests these guys are hoping to line up are truly Grove stuff, but can't say at the moment who they are. They may not be confirmed yet.

Pat, got all the Whitesnake singles signed by Bernie and Pat signed my Needle in the Groove (only for me to leave it in Sharons car on the way home). Its in safe hands in Sharons of course but I got a fright when I couldnt find the record on the Monday after the gig!

Pat, Need to check but I think 26th April would be good for me. I'll confirm in next day or two. Would be great to get out and have a beer if at all possible. Seems like forever since I managed to catch any of you guys. Getting all emotional here

Gary, that's brill  Just been talking to Gordon from the band and he says that anyone going on the Sunday night will have their details taken and issued with a guest pass. I can confirm that Andy Powell from Wishbone Ash will be playing with Pat McManus later in the year as will Bernie Marsden again. Other acts are also coming which I know Grovers will love. Some of these gigs will be ticket only and the band want to hold as many of these tickets for us Grovers. So those who go on 26th will be assured entry to the special acts during the year. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

Folks, There no tickets involved in this gig. Those who go Sunday will get special passes and as I understand will have their details taken for future reference to ensure loyal fans get preference for the "special guest" gigs that wull be happening during the year.

Missed it Pat, and missed you guys.  Have a back and neck pain that has me turning like a robot. I'm no doctor (remember him ) but I reckon headbanging is no solution for that. Amazing what damage sleeping can cause.Some other time.... ------------- I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash |

that was the best Pat McManus gig I've been too,and I'm not implying that the band played better than usual,as they always give 110%,I mean it because that was the best audience I've seen at any of Pat's gigs I've been to.They for the most,knew all the lyrics,and the claps and cheers the lads got was amazing,and Pat and the lads deserve it
and it was great to see my aul Grove pals there too,great to see you Bruns,Aries,Biker ( mr.man u ) Pat 
Sharon,u crack me up,I'm still LMAO,poor Caroline ( F me ) 
and was a pleasure to finally meet Joey the Lips,and Brother Lips,hope to see ye all again soon ------------- upon us all,a little rain must fall |
