Hi All only heard about the site yesterday and thought I would give it a try I suppose you remmber the first dance and the first Girl you went out with allways.
It was the Grove where it all happened to me.I would say I prefered the old Grove down in Clontarf. There was a better atmosphere.Gosh the memories are flooding back.Looking back it was the only social gathering place available and only for it God knows what young people would have got up to
When It went to St Pauls. It got competition from club 74 and there was a dIvide between the type of muscic

Anther thing, was it just me that wore Brut aftershave then.
I seemed to rememeber the waft of it in the dance Hall.
I changed to tobac, but they still ran away, and as far as HighKarate aftershave went, it didn't work either

I remember I "got off" off with a Clontarf Girl at the Grove.and She loved the Terry Jacks single seasons in the Sun.
It happened to herr birthday So I bought it for her in Dolphin Discs and we played it in her sitting room on Sunday a few times.
I happened to say what's on the B side, see what's that like.
Do you know whats on the B side.
I can't say it here it may be rude
But both being red heads you couldn't tell who was the most embarrased

Every one else rocking and you looking like a gormless twit, you can't hear what the other person is saying nor can they you.

Couple of times Dondon-and when the answer was yes,it was some kind of magic. Still swaying as you say while Paranoid or something was blaring. But somehow it felt weird and right-the two of you still wanting to dance and hold,disregarding everything else around you.
Didn't happen often,but enjoyed it when it did.

Thanks Biker Pat.
I often wondered If the Girls liked it more than the Boys, A lot of girls ran for cover when it came on. Some would have left Dervala O' Rourke behind in the dash. And you would have a few Lads, (me included ) wandering around aimlessly like lost souls on hearing "no thanks".
Then you would see the Girl dancing with some yoke and you would say to yourself. Is She is doing this on purpose just to annoy everyone (We all got refused at least once in our Grove days, I wager that )
It was the old eye contact thing that was mostly used.If you eyed someone up(sounds dreadfull now) and She looked at you a few times, and when the song started it's first few beats, Oh I can hear it now .....You were 'In like Flynn' as they say . But I do remember it was a great slow song
That single you have, a treasured pocession no doubt.

You don't happen to know a Billy Donnelly do ya? He went to the Grove back in the late 60's/70. He lived in Artane up by where Derek Farrell lived.
We hung around on the right side of the stage (looking at the stage). Once in a while we'd venture out to the dance floor for our refusals.

It was still known as Easons or Belgrove when I started in '68. The Grove
was just the slang name. I think it was much later that it actually became
The Grove by name. I remember playing for Home Farm against Belgrove
soccer club (like for about a minute and half they let me off the bench) and
always connected the Grove to the soccer club, just like the Tennis Club
and The Cricket Club. I think even the early membership cards had Belgrove
Soccer Club on them but I might be wrong about that...Cecil would know.

message to pougue.
What year did you play for Home Farm.I was there for 2 years. 1977
But I played for the B team.We trained twice a week in Whitehall.
I remember we had a knick about with the first team under Dave Bacuzzi. I can't remeber our managers name but they trained the hell out us.
We played the odd Game in Mobi Road as well. During a training session,our Manager told us to take off a booth and sock from your knicking foot. So we had to use the other foot to pass the ball. It was his way of teaching us to use both feet. Have to say it did work.There was no way you were going to use your bare foot to trap and pass a ball.
I use to watch Belgove play on a Sunday. I would would gain acess to the pitch by the ditch at the far end.Allthough there was barrier and barrbed wire to stop us we still were able to get through it.
I often thought about doing the same on a Grove night But the bouncers were allways patrolling it and the were spot lights on the field as well.When I got my membership I gave up on the Idea

It was still known as Easons or Belgrove when I started in '68. The Grove was just the slang name. I think it was much later that it actually became The Grove by name. I remember playing for Home Farm against Belgrove soccer club (like for about a minute and half they let me off the bench) and always connected the Grove to the soccer club, just like the Tennis Club and The Cricket Club. I think even the early membership cards had Belgrove Soccer Club on them but I might be wrong about that...Cecil would know. |

You are dead right. My first red membership card (1482 ) had Belgrove Football Club on it

Jesus Gary, I knew you were old...............but I certainly didn't think you were friends with Henry the Eighth. And there was me thinking that the Grove started in 1967.
