Ep 36 - The Grove Social Club (1967 to 1997)

The Grove was a teenage disco in the Northside of Dublin, Ireland that ran for 30 years, from 1967 to 1997.  and thanks to Cecil Nolan, who was the DJ for that entire time, and the music he played, The Grove became an essential part of the formative years of the tens of thousands of young Northsiders who attended. In this episode, many of those who were lucky enough to have gone to the Grove share their stories and the music they heard there.  Links  Joe Kearns - What is the Grove?  https://thegrove-jk.blogspot.com/p/memories-of-grove-1973-to-1975-from-2025.html?m=1 The Grove Facebook group  https://www.facebook.com/groups/4512479386/?ref=share The Grove radio show on NearFM https://nearfm.ie/the-grove-show/ Eamonn McCormack's "Kindred Spirits" album https://open.spotify.com/artist/7IYQbgnmiFhHdnp5WESEQV?si=hYYbsEFpTuWxxMuCwaFtiw "More Than A Feeling" - RTE documentary on the Grove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iccATMMFBtM 32a - Irish Film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPA8aUK3q80
