i never stepped foot in the place! but being a DJ on the northside for 22 years now, and I have done all the house parties of grovers and in the past few years every other 40th birthday wants to be a grove night (did they all buy houses in Malahide!) I’ve done Grove themed charity nights as far north as donabate and I have no claim on the place except punters say “can ya play us the music of the grove” so never been there how the hell do I know what was played? well after 22 years the punters have told me and I learned a lot from the kilbarrack foxfield punters when I played the greendale disco 87-89 when I was still enrolled as a student there (not claiming I ever went to school). looking forward to the show tonight. should be a laugh.

sadly another northside disco, the stardust is still in the news 25 years on, delegation to the dáil today got no fixed answers on a new inquiry.
