Before I went to the Grove all I use to listen to was U2 and U2 and little bit of U2. Remembered my bro going and listening to a few his albums.. Rainbow, Deep Purple, Zeppelin and then I went to the Grove and I got to learn so many new songs and artist.
But the thing I knew some of these songs from U2 live performance were they would sing other peoples songs. I remember I once took Rainbow double album doen to the Grove for Cecil it wasn't mine it was my brothers. The fist record was Ronnie James Dio songs and the second record was a mix of Rainbow later stuff with Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner. My brother never knew until a few weeks ago I told him. I made sure my mam was in the room when I tiold him ha ha |

I remember the night Cecil tried / started to play "Mary of the 4th Form - Boomtown Rats"
Some people went ballistic. |

for me the essence of the grove... and I was a later visitor - in the 90's (long before "club G" thank goodness) 200 kids in lines dancing to new order - blue monday - that blue monday dance that no-one else in the country seems to know about but you can spot a grove person from across a crowded nightclub from the first dush dush dush dush... after moving from dublin i tried in vain to get it going in some of the local indie clubs - but people just didn't get it. that and moshing... and moshing while wearing a dress up to 'there' with docs that didn't stop short of it! good times. xk |

I remember the first time Cecil played New Order Blue Monday, I thought it was the end of the rock stuff. Funny, but I like the song now. |

I liked the song (the 12" version was/is the biz) but its on a TV ad now (cant remember what for) so I'll probably grow tired of it soon...

I remember the feeling of walking into the hall and the feeling of being "home" as it were familiar faces and the only place I could hear the music i loved

The B-side to the 12" was an alternative intrumental of Blue Monday called the beach. Better I think but only maybe because we're all too familiar with the A-side.
