OK-I've dropped the 'Posh' bit as it was one of them 'you had to be there' so it's just me...(everybody thought 'Posh Floyd' was a new member...) Just thought I'd resurrect this very important part of the Grove-The Slow Set - as it hasn't had a post in months. What slowies would you like to hear at the Craobh? Just wanted to recall what Lynn did at the 40th. She ran up to where we were hanging out and grabbed my hand as the slowies were playing...Crusty then said 'we'll play this for Floydman' and out boomed 'Comfortably Numb'---it was great. Lynn wanted to ask for a song to be played for me as a kind of 'reward' for Cecil's picture but she couldn't get near Cecil or Andy. Pat and Muller jumped to the rescue and asked her what did she want and she said 'Any Pink Floyd for Martin'. They delivered and we got our slow dance,it was very romantic as we gazed at each other trying to avoid BR writhing on the floor doing the guitar solo. THEN immediatley after it came Nights in White Satin!!! (kind of a 'our song' thing) and it just couldn't be better if that was planned. We never danced together at the Grove even though we went at the same times but this was the first slow set we shared with some of our favourite tunes. Magic. What are your slow set moments? (BB + HD? Need we ask?) And what slowies would you hope to hear this re-union? ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

I love the slow sets cos they are a thing of the past now, never get to "lurch" with Robbie anymore unless it's at a reunion  The first song we ever danced to was "Stairway to Heaven" followed by "Woman" John Lennon. It was a Saturday night 31st July 1982  ------------- You are what you wanna be....age doesn't matter |

Wife won't be going as heavily pregnant. Black russian is bringing me with his spare ticket. I think I hope there's no slowies - he may think I'm his date and want me to "writhe on the floor" with him
Never had favourite slowies - never had a Grove girlfriend when I was going, and myself and Laura never really developed a song that became our own. In fact we really struggled to pick out a first dance for our wedding because of that. We went with "Fools Rush In" as we had been going out for over eleven years before we got hitched However, I think "Stairway" is a must. I have always loved "wonderful tonight" and since the Grove CD's were cut, I think Hazel O Connor's song is the biz "Will You" ------------- I'm searching for that cash I should have saved for the crash |

Clifford T Ward-Gaye please and also Stay with me til Dawn .... my faves. I could probably go on...Samba Pa Ti, Ripples, Seventeen, Love & Affection. Theres too many here already. Slowies never lasted more than two songs, if I remember correctly. Probably just as well in some cases! |

My own favourites include Angie and The Rain Song. But plenty of those mentioned above are also top notch. |

My vote would be for "Like a Hurricane" by Neil Young! Awesome song and great lengthy song back in the day if you were dancing with someone you fancied!  ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

A great list too there Pat-was wondering how far down the list before CCR would come up! Ceciul played Stevie Wonder's Supersticion at the 40th. Never thought I'd hear that at the Grove...and at the 40th I never thought I'd be jiving to it...we were standing up at the back when it was played and I just couldn't help myself but to move while we were chatting...incredible groove-really boppy backbeat and keyboard riff. Cool... ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

Thanks. CCR didn't actually have a lot of slow songs but this one is a classic. Superstition  Think that era of Stevie Wonder was his best 1969 - 1973. ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride. Biker Pat Grove 1972-1975 |

I'm hoping there's no slowies! But we know there will be! My memory of the slow sets was Kev Petrie and Shaun (I think his name was Shaun) asking as many girls as possible to see who got the most refusals. Poor Kev! I used to ruin it for him by saying Yes so I wouldn't look like wallflower and we used to have a good oul natter during the slowies!! Usually taking the pi** out of the groping grovers around us. Ahhh! Good times! |

LOL, that's so you Fran to throw a spanner in the works! I'd love if "Thank You" by Zeppelin was played. I think I fell in love with my hubby listening to him playing that on camping trips when we were still just mates. Got it played at our wedding too. So Crusty...if you have it....PLEASE!!!!!

Hey Tomcat, welcome to the site! I remember him playing "I go to sleep" as well as "No Woman No Cry". Not sure if he played "Running with the pack" but a great song all the same... ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |
