I was a bit bored in work and just came across this site, i cant believe it exists, the grove days were the best days of my teenage years, great music, great knacker drinking in st. annes park and all at the tender age of 16ish. Is there anybody out there that was groving in my day. My older sisters also went to the grove they are now 40 and 42, im currently the tender age of 34.

Hiya Shirley. Welcome to the site. Another North County Dubliner I see! Are you going to the Halloween reunion? If you haven't been to any of the reunions yet you just gotta go. They're Gr-r-reat (Sorry having a Frosties Tony the Tiger moment).

The next reunion is on the 29th Oct...Fancy Dress if you're up for it. Check out the Halloween reunion thread for details. There's also the possibility of taxi's being organised so all us NCDers can share. And by the way...although most of us on this site may seem to know each other from the Grove days...most of us have only gotten to know each other through the site. |

Hey Black russian where were you from ? im new to this site does anybody know if the grove music is stored anywhere for download ? I would love to have it on my mpd something to cheer me up on the train to work in the morn, maybe I could create a mosh on the 7.30 from donabate to town that would be different

Hamptongrover Howdy. I'd have been around your time-ish, although I'm that bit older than you. You Hampton Court in Clontarf? I used head there regularly enough with a crowd of lads, many from that neck of the woods - Dermot, Peter, Paul, Mick, Owen, Shane, Ger - any of those names ring a bell? Darach. |

Hya Darach I would probably know them but without surnames im not sure, there were lots of kids growing up in hampton in my day, never short of a buddy to call on. i lived in no. 78 which was the corner house in the gap, not the road with the green on it, have gone a while now but would love to go back, needing to win lottery first though. I worked in the belgrove shop where i met my now husband, he was not a grover though and doesnt have a clue why i go a bit insane when i hear a song from those days.

Welcome! I was actually at that reunion in the cricket! I was home from the states and delighted when I heard of it. Great night had by all and I have photo's here which I will post some day of that night also. Wasn't Brian Smith the DJ? |

Was at that too Teresa. Didn't know you had pics of it though. Always thought that Stephen Halpin was the DJ that night. Wasn't that the one with the Fund Raising Race Night before it. |

Not sure guys who the DJ was just know it was great night with great music and lots of legal drink for once. What are your favourite songs out there. I loved rock lobster and Depeche Mode Just Cant Get Enough, also Black Sabbath Paranoid. My favourite slowy to this day is Dan Hill "Sometimes when we touch" im such a romantic
