Great stuff Gerry. Special nights alright. Ive said it before but in my view two key ingrediants to reunions. Great music and great people. Add to that the venue and its a winner.

Cheers Brian, you said it. Its the nearest I've coming to knowing the meaning of a "hive mind". I actually feel brilliant today. The " afterglow" of a brilliant, brilliant night is stopping any bit of an oul hangover that might be trying to develop...

Very positive vibes there Gerry.
Knew you'd love it.
As I said before many times the Grove community is special and unique where everybody is bonded together through music and mutual friendship and respect.
Being a Grover is a special honour and age, musical generation and taste makes no difference.
We are one special community. Long may it continue.🎸🎸✌✌❀❀
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Cheers lads. I'd happily take on that labour of love Poguey. Oh, I did my special dance with you in mind! One I haven't done in a long time - I duck-walked from one side of a big circle to the other - and back again! Without actually falling over !!! A sight to behold,the crowd laughed until they stopped!!!

Ha ha, that about sums it up Poguey!

Sean/SHH, yep great to meet up, will try get longer chat in next time. Delighted with twice-yearly gig, if the lads get it together. Was gas earlier, Annette my wife was asking me, in innocence "well, glad you enjoyed it, is that it so?" Me: "eh, no, I'll be going to more of them" Annette: "How many, like?" Me: "All of them" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Ah no, she's sound really, might bring her along to one of them. I assume partners etc, even with a non-Grove history, are acceptable ...!!!

Great night altogether lads - so glad you enjoyed it Gerry - I knew you would. I'm actually still a bit ropey this morning (I was in bits yesterday) but it was in a worthy cause...

Cheers lads...Mel, I spent that much time eejitin round on the dancefloor I didn't drink a huge amount (very unusual for me, I can tell you)! and also I sweated some of it out ... Annette is actually quite keen to go to a Grove night - as you lads were saying before, she saw how much I really looked forward to it, then how much I really enjoyed it ...

...might get me round the "Easter Sunday" thing Mel! If Annette wants to go that night, I'm made up. She is a lovely, friendly person (obviously, if we got married!), will talk to one and all - more reserved than me but that wouldn't be hard and I think is real curious to meet these people I keep going on about ... she has a bit of πŸ™€πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ at my dancefloor antics, but sure so would I if I could see meself - that bleedin duckwalk nearly killed me altogether!   So you never know !

Mel, hope you feel better tonight/tomorrow ...

Lucky you getting around the "Easter Sunday" restriction, if you do, Gerry. Thanks for the "get well soon" wishes as well, not sick or anything now - just have a bit of a pain in the tummy. I'll get over it.
