Hi again  and thanks for the warm welcome.... Just a few words to Brendan Carroll......... Brendan sorry to hear about your mam passing away i didn't know.. it comes to us all, in the words of Ronnie Lane  " life -its a short movie "and the irony is that the longer you live the closer you are to dying.

       Just to let you know Brendan i dropped the Grove doc. dvd and some other dvds to your sisters house tonight ,also the same ones for Sean........if there's anyone looking for the Grove doc. dvd and they live in the artane /raheny /clontarf area i'll drop one in your letter box  providing you dont live to far out  of the way,i'm always out and about.....but i'm not going to any lighthouses or rowing over to any islands .....   Ok

Sunstorm,

Echo Monarch's sentiments.

I started going in 1972 and I'm very interested in stories from the 60's.

It must have been magic
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

ARIES WROTE  -      Anybody else feel ancient at 19 at The Grove?

 

l was still going to the Grove at 19,used the girlfriend as my excuse,

as stated ,my mates started going to the Cricket,and l slowly followed suit,the only appeal that place had for me was the bar..

soon moved on to Bruxelles ( downstairs ) McGonagles,and Fibber McGees,and Charlies bar sometimes,and Foggy Dew on occasion

not quite the Grove,but some great nights,and l felt "right" in those places,like l did at the Grove,probably it was the music they played, and the clientele they attracted

Heya Sunstorm,

Welcome to the site from one of the younger members on the site (ok, I know I'm not *that* young but it felt good to say it).  Please stick around and share your thoughts and memories of your days down the grove!

Welcome Sunstorm!!!

It is great to have you on-board!

I am delighted you are keeping well and many thanks once again for having me on-board on those dark and wet Friday nights and early Saturday and Sunday mornings way back then in 1971 / 1972!

Can't wait for your stories

Welcome SUNSTORM...whoever you are...I haven't copped on yet but obviously you know my whole family. Now I'm worried, what else do you know about me...LOL

I'll send you a PM with my sisters address in Edenmore.

Sorry to say, The MA passed away a few years ago and none of the family is living there at the moment....You're right about The PaddyFella, He was a lazy lump. Sean is doing well and in Ohio near me. Tony is still in Dublin.

The Dollymount House came up recently, that's where we had The MA's after funeral event. Would you believe that she had arranged with my sister that the first two rounds were on her. A lot of people showed up to show their respects. I'm guessing you knew her too..

OK, I might have you figured out.....
