Used to get the 103 bus from Whitehall and get off the stop just before the Beachcomber pub. There was a little grassy area along there with an electrical generator thingy surrounded by trees and thats where I used to get hammered before the Grove. Ah savage days

I remember knocking back some vodka in the boys/mens jax behind the stage thinking I was so cool until Barry came crashing in.
Like an eejit I forgot that the big window in the cubicle looked out on the queue, Barry must've seen me and spoilt the party. I was barred 'til Easter. Luckily for me it happened sometime in march so i didn't have long to wait for my Grove fix. Getting barred did wonders for my reputation though |

Seriously...is ANYBODY having a swift one in the Park first? (Maybe the idea of it sounds better than the reality of it) I remember Jimmy Redmond (we remember Jimmy Redmond,right? Don't think he visits here unless incognito,or under a username I don't know) once said 'Don't know which I prefer more,going to the pub before the Grove,or Knacker Drinking before the Grove...' Good on ya Jimmy. |

You're right. Last I heard of 'Redser' he became some sort of landlord or something (wouldn't go as far as saying Lord or Earl) but it sounded like a big thing-inherited land in Galway or Mayo or somewhere??? |

Hey you... Macker-the Inevitable Spoon singer?
Jimmy Redmond ... curly bush hair,yes,sometimes long grey coat,other times denim with Black Sabbath embroidery.Little brother called Eugene-started hanging around the park in Jimmy's wake. Can't think of anything else-other than he was like everyone's friend-really nice guy. |

If this is the Jim Redmond from Ennafort, he used live across the road from me. I used hang around with his brothers Rory and Derek
