Hi Guys,

As promised, some extra curricular activity outside of the reunions, and here's the first - An Evening With Cecil.
This is a pilot show, it will be a live internet broadcast (audio and video) in the form of a chat show. It will be hosted by Muller with main guest Cecil and a panel of a couple of websiters (whose name were picked from a hat - don't worry, it'll be your turn next!) and hopefully extra special guest, director of More Than A Feeling - The Grove Documentary, Mr.Joe McElwaine. It will be interactive, light chit-chat about whatever we decide to talk about on the night but generally Grove and music related. We'll also be dipping into Cecil's record collection and spinning one or two tracks.
So get those thinking caps on and come up with some interesting questions for our guests and lets have some fun.

An Evening With Cecil will be broadcast live on Tuesday June 3rd at 8.30pm Irish "Summer / Daylight Saving Time.

To interact, post questions and comments on the evening, you'll see a box beside the broadcast picture, just click in it and type. YOU DON'T HAVE TO REGISTER TO LEAVE A COMMENT.

Here's the link:

was a great evening, thoroughly enjoyed it - would be great to have some SHREE girls from 77-79 next time round - if any of you log into this site - since lots of people don't know what Shree was - but in our Grove days (77-79) it was as much Grove as Led Zeppelin was - thanks Andy, Cecil & Co. for a wonderful evening and keep us posted - all the very best!

Tóg go Grove é

I bought a lot of stuff from Shree too. Great clothes. Really nice place to browse thru. Forgot about that place. Thanks for the reminder.

Now that would be telling, it was a good thing James our soundman had the mics off, that's all I'll say!

I'd just like to say thanks to all for watching and participating last night. A huge thanks to Aries, Brunswick, Floyd, Joe and Muller for their time. A huge thanks to James on sound too, great job my friend. Sorry if I missed reading some of your comments, but hey, that's live internet broadcasts for you. Next time I'm going to up the video quality and hope it doesn't affect the streaming. If anyone wants to watch last night's show they can click on the link up at the top of of this thread and you'll find it there.

And finally, Cecil just texted me to thank you all for a great night and in particular Floyd for the lift home.

Well done one and all!

Enjoyed it, but was surprised at how long it was. Thought it would be 30 minutes or an hour tops. Some really good stories and funny also.

I kept waiting for Mel to look at his watch and do a runner for the train! 

When listening to Joe talking about the documentary and saying the "middle" period being a bit flat as not as many heads of that time responded. Can I say first I knew of the website was when I watched the documentary and it was my sister rang me to say the Grove was on the telly. Went on the site within 5 minutes of the end of the programme.
