Wow...I knew Jamie Byrne in the mid 80's...sadly lost touch at the end of that decade. He was a really decent, nice guy. At the time he as a salesman for an insurance company, but twice a month, the pair of us would get together and he would teach me Flamenco guitar, he was brilliant. He told me stories of how he had been in a popular band in the 60's, but until now I had never heard them..like I said..he as such a nice guy..hope he is still rockin' on..thank you for posting this vid...
I'm back in N.Z. these days still singing and playing for a living! Two sfforts on this youtube site are recent performances "Still got the blues" & "Knock on Wood" Cheers Pete
Thanks Peter.My favorite was You are the one I love and Soothe Me, did you play at the Thumpin Tumb,Catcher, Ginza Biting Eye,Berties and Sebastians and all those other Melbourne haunts,what great days of music they were.Do you still play and where are you these days.Cheers Sharyn.

Thanks Lucio, They were great venues in Melbourne in those days, I think the venues & the audiences really bought the best out of all the groups who were lucky enough to play them! I don't have any vision of 'What is Soul' and am limited to just the great pics Rods Stone took in those days, Thank god for his passion for photography! And I don't want to keep repeating the same pics in the clips! Who knows something may show up I can use! Sunshine Valentine has a nice clip of it! Cheers
When will you insert the Groove's recording of "What is Soul" Pete? A great song, a terrific recording and some very poignant vocals. How often have I applauded you after having heard you singing that at Sebastian!!! Such memories!!!!!!
Great to give this stuff an airing internationally now, I missed it the first time around. Of course I was 5 years old at the time, but still.... Keep 'em coming - you have some vast archives!
Just great Peter, was a fan of the Groove like so many yrs back.A great surprise to find this track.Hope you come to Melbourne again.Elwood Rsl club has a 60s feel a happening.Cheers, the song 5*s mate.
Thanks Gary, This is a great way to keep in touch with like-minded people! Would love to do a gig back there again! Must get Rod Stone to try & tie something up! Elwood R.S.L could just be the place!! Cheers Pete
Just Brilliant !!! I have been listening to you guys for over forty years and loving it..What a band wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now Relax me is my favourite ..

Thanks Guys,It's nice to be appreciated after all these years! Even nicer because I'm in N.Z. where no one has heard of the 'Groove"
even though there was 2 Kiwis in the band!
Cheers.
