Hi Guys, As you all know by now, the Grove themed fundraiser featuring both Cecil and myself, in aid of St. Francis Hospice, Raheny, has been confirmed and tickets are now on sale at this link: https://www.tickets.ie/events.aspx/search?s=the%20grove - Tickets For The Grove Themed Fundraiser It will be held at Clontarf Castle on Friday, May 20th at 8pm. Tickets €20, doors at 8pm. It's gonna be a great night and it's a worthy cause! Our advice is to book tickets as soon as possible as being a Clontarf event, tickets will sell quite quickly and when it's sold out, there's nothing we can do. Also, this event will NOT be webcast. Apologies to our foreign friends! But we will be thinking of you, drinking for you and I'm sure texting/emailing, on the night!  Thanks again for all your support and for keeping the flame alive! Hugs and kisses, Andy. ------------- I'm not even supposed to be here today! |

I proposed to my wife in Clontarf Castle. I refuse to go back....Can we hold
the reunion somewhere else?..but not near the Cricket Club, or the Sheds, St Annes, the Beachcomber, Coles or pubs bearing the Madigan's or Mulligan's names, or anywhere within 3 miles of the Bull Wall. . . |

I heard that too Mel! was going to go up yesterday.. this is from Phantom.ie: City discs in Dublin is to close.
Written by News | 24 January 2011 Management at the shop today confirmed to Phantom News that they're making the move because of market conditions. The Templebar shop will close it's doors at an unspecified date within the next month, but it'll be preceeded by a sale of stock - keep tuned for details of that. |

Hi all, Coli Hanratty here 1 of the organisers of the Grove
Reunion May 20 - A few clarifications : Both Andy and Cecil are the main features on the night. Creditcardless can buy direct from Austin in O'Connell St. from Friday 15 April . This is a fundraiser for St Francis Hospice. After that it's the first time the Grove has been in Clontarf for many years. Any queries talk to us.We want the True Grovers at this one .IT WILL BE SPECIAL |

I echo sentiments above. To combine a worthy cause with legendary DJ's, Cecil and Andy, and then mix in a bunch of us Grovers is a sure recipe for success.

Hi everyone,
Thanks a million for all the messages of support.By the way my cousin Barry Hanratty is the other organiser of this Grove reunion and had the original idea.He's a bit pissed off that I didn't mention him last night.He is a grover since 1977.We genuinely cant wait for this and I have to say the take up on tickets is unbelieveable even at this early stage.A big thank you to Andy and Cecil for all their help and to all you out there who are goin to make this possible.

Thanks to Veronah for talking Lerato into attending. She has only attended one reunion "the music was very loud and everyone was singing along". "and..?" What's wrong with that, I'd like to know, so here we go again. My brother is organising a gang of his friends to go. This will be his first reunion so I hope the tickets aren't sold out yet. My sis-in-law is organising her school reunion and needed a Grove playlist. What have we started? Long may it continue. ------------- Life is for living |

Was just talking to Cecil. Man, he is ready to ROCK the CASTLE It's nostalgic for him bringing the Grove abck to it's original roots in Clontarf, not far from Mount Prospect. His playlist is gonna be special. Trust me. If you ain't got tickets and you call yourself a Grover/Rocker, then move your asses and get a ticket. . Even if you're not a former Grover, come along and be inaugurated into the Grove Hall of Fame.A show not to be missed and a worthwhile charity will be benefiting as well.

Beachcomber sounds like a deadly idea. A couple of scoops
and then a stroll down Castle Avenue - what time are ye lads heading down there? ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

I'm staying in Artane on the night (in my folks place on
Brookwood Avenue) so it's a Dart home to Harmo, grab a bite to eat, and then a leisurely stroll down, through Killester, to the Beachcomber and then on the Grove. Like ya say Peter, just like the old days. I'm giddy already! ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |
