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..... ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

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"

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! ------------- Lovely cushioned header, for Gerrard!!!! Oooooooooooh you beauty! What a hit son, what a hit!!!! |

I have had tears myself watching the doc,especially the part where Cecil runs out of St.Paul's crying...he could see the sea of heads for a moment...I could too,took me back to when I'd be sitting on the stage watching the moshes...its as vivid as yesterday... ------------- upon us all,a little rain must fall |

That was a very emotional part of the documentary. Most of us only have a few years in our grove 'career',. but Cecil had 30 years - returning to St. Pauls must have been very traumatic for him. It showed me he still cared despite having to retire in '97. Its also great that Cecil attends the reunions as otherwise, I don't think he would get the recognition he deserves. Its like we give something back to him at those event and via the tributes on here. I owe alot of my musical education to Cecil and am glad he taught the good stuff..... ------------- Keep it Local, Keep it Near! |

You are right Pat, the link is out of action. the funny thing is if you do a search on RTE the reunions come up and other linked documentaries are all about The General and Dublin crime bosses. Sure we hardly did any drugs at all in the Grove I have the documentary on disc if you want a copy...I think?

Is there any chance of this ever getting an official DVD release, or even a repeat on RTE, I wonder. I've lost track of the amount of people who have told me that they haven't seen it. Such a shame. ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Mel, I have checked this out with RTE (have relation works there). The actual recording is held by Animo Productions and I have emailed them on numerous occasions with no response. So I think the possibility of it ever being released on DVD or aired again are very slim .I do have it on DVD myself but have given all my spare copies away. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I have a copy on DVD myself, lads, but so many "newer" Grovers have come along to reunions etc., since it aired and many of them haven't seen it - a few of them didn't even know it existed.
Edit: Pat - thanks for going to such lengths, enquiring about the documentary with RTE etc., no harm in trying I suppose. ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |
