JOHN HABS Â Â 10 #5 Posted December 24, 2017 It was 1971 when I first went in the Olive Grove with my girlfriend ( now my wife ) on a Thursday night. Â We started to go in regular after that first time.......every Thursday night, sometimes the DJ would be Alan Dale and other times it would be another DJ with a surname of Jameson ( can't remember his first name ). Â The Olive was the place that introduced me to the music of the Cream ( the band ) and I have been a fan of Cream ever since.

Colinsfoot   11 #8 Posted January 21, 2019 I was a regular from about 1967, twice a week regular as clockwork. It was always rammed and as others have said some proper crumpet got in there. Initially the DJ was Alan Dale who played mostly top twenty pop music and they used to have candles in bottles on the tables to give it ambience.  He was replaced with a DJ who called himself Sexy Rexy....I don't know what his real name was...but he played wall to wall prog rock and I loved it. Great memories of headbanging in front of his speakers to Deep Purple etc and I've still got a ringing in my ears 50 years later.😎 I was mortified to see it's been turned into a convenience shop now.😠Just a word about the beer...it was from the old Tennants Brewery and the landlord, George? kept it very well, and if I could have a quid for every pint I had there I'd be a rich man now.

Billam   10 #9 Posted January 24, 2019 We had some great times there, Alan packed in when he got married, met loads of girls. The beer was good, not a lot of trouble just everyone enjoying the night, great times. After Alan was married we went down to the Olive a few weeks later to view the wedding film.
