Sorry, things have been a little delayed, I've just been finalizing details with The Button Factory and tidying up any loose ends from the last event. And the bad news is, that tickets will have to remain at the same price of 18 because we're paying for both early and late slots on the night. I promise, as soon as they go on sale, there'll be an announcement on the site. Again, apologies for not getting them out sooner.
------------- I'm not even supposed to be here today!

No need to ever apologise Crusty my man. About anything.
We are in your debt for all the organisation that goes into these events. And to all who work with you on them.

Andy a trip to McDonalds costs more than 18 euros these days, and you are giving us
1- A fab venue
2- Brilliant music for (8pm-3am?)- 7 hours 
3- Chance to meet up with friends old and new
4- A chance to feel 16yrs old again
Now as Maurice Pratt used to say " Thats real value"

Dont be apologising for the cost Andy (or indeed for the ticket "announcement" being delayed). 18 is brilliant value for the Grove nights. Many thanks again for all that you guys do for us!!!

I can't promise anything Pat, but the least I might be able to swing is a webcam. Maybe, I might get an audio feed from the desk. Leave it with me. Even just for a few minutes! Not sure about broadcasting, might just have to use skype. You can all take it in turn to log on, Lenny and our mates in Oz. I'll talk to the technical crew.

Ah,indeed...5 notes pocket money,2 quid entrance,3 cans of Steiger or Red Stripe (yeuch) from Rosemount off licence and maybe a can of 7 up if there was any change for dehydration purposes.
When I got my first job I moved up in the world to buying chicken balls from Josies chip van on the roundabouit on the way home...

Ooooh...there's a memory. I used to LOVE their curry chips! There was usually some loose change rattling around for a tray of those. I was probably in the queue along with you some nights.

Headbanging is all very well but now when I do it, I end up with whiplash for three days afterwards. Ouch! 
Still....at least I have the hair for it.
